BONEFISH AND TARPON TRUST SYMPOSIUM 2017<\/h2>\n

The 6th annual Bonefish and Tarpon Trust<\/a> Symposium took place a few days ago in Weston Florida.
\nThe symposium is a gathering of people who like to fish and an opportunity for the BTT to explain their research and current projects, while inviting the industry to do the same.\u00a0 It is a relaxed, fun environment and an excellent time to hobnob with like minded people and professionals in the field of fly fishing.\u00a0 It was our first visit to the symposium and we were impressed with the amount of information available and the low cost of admission.\u00a0 We sat in on the permit panel of 12 notable anglers and guides considered to be experts in the field.\u00a0 There were talks about fishing for bonefish, current bonefish research, relevant legislation and of course lots of tarpon talk.<\/p>\n

\"fly<\/p>\n

There was a long list of notable anglers, industry professionals, guides and manufactures in a relaxed social setting and accessible to all attendees.\u00a0 Andy Mill was hanging out telling some of the great stories he is known for just before he did his talk in the auditorium.\u00a0 Andy Mill is a legend both on and off the skiff and it was a real treat to spend some time with him.<\/p>\n

\"flyDrew Chicone<\/a> was tying flies and had a preview of his new three part book called Top Saltwater Flies.\u00a0 Three books in the series, one for permit, one for bonefish and one for tarpon.\u00a0 We got to check them out and were impressed by the quality of the publication and thoughtfulness.\u00a0 It’s actually a ring bound book that can lay flat or sit on a stand while tying….definitely designed by a true fly tyer.\u00a0 Strong work Drew!<\/p>\n

\"flyEnrico Puglisi<\/a> has still got it.\u00a0 He was tying flies and impressing attendees as he has for decades, aside from his salt and pepper hair becoming a little more salt than pepper, he is as creative and talented as ever.<\/p>\n

\"flyTom Rosenbauer & Shawn Combs of Orvis <\/a>were there with demo models of the new Helios 3<\/a> for everyone to try out.\u00a0 This was a big hit as so many anglers wanted to try the most accurate rod on the planet (their words, not ours).\u00a0 They presented their research and development process for the new rod during the first day and packed in the day one participants.<\/p>\n

We highly recommend getting involved next year.<\/p>\n
