The Tarpon, aka the Silver King, is one of the top gamefish in the world. The golden age of Tarpon fly fishing was around the 1960’s-1970’s when a hand full of anglers in the Florida Keys were developing tackle that could hold up to the fighting ability of this incredible fish. I wanted to capture this exciting era in my painting, “Chasing the Silver King”. Included in the scene is a vintage Fin-Nor “Wedding Cake” No. 3 reel, a bamboo rod, and a classic tarpon fly box. At the time, this was the best shot an angler had at landing this amazing fighter on a fly!
