 The Fishery
Tarpon Cay Lodge is truly a world-class destination for baby Tarpon. Ranging in size from 5 to 20 pounds, these resident Tarpon reside in environs of turtle grass flats and mangrove-lined creeks and bays. This habitat is also home to Snook, Barracuda, Jacks and Snapper. The hallmark of the fishery at Tarpon Cay Lodge is the sheer numbers of baby Tarpon that inhabit the region. On a calm day, it is not uncommon to observe pods of Tarpon rolling and slashing bait on the flats - an awe-inspiring moment to say the least. Another highlight is during the months of June to September, migratory Tarpon (40 to 100+ pounds) inhabit the waters near Tarpon Cay Lodge. If weather conditions allow (low wind), anglers can pursue these Silver Kings.
Fishing Tackle and Strategy
 Tarpon Cay Lodge utilizes spacious 18 foot pangas with an extensive level casting deck. All fishing is conducted out of these stealthy, stable, and comfortable fishing platforms. The nearest boundary of the fishery is very close to the lodge and, therefore, only requires a 15 - 25 minute boat ride to arrive at most of your fishing areas.
Most anglers prefer to fish 8 weight rods. When weather conditions and/or size of fish dictate, 9 weight rods are the order of the day. The wonderful part of fly fishing at Tarpon Cay Lodge is that most of the fishing is done with floating lines. The shallow water pursuit demands lightweight (slow sinking) Tarpon flies or top-water offerings such as poppers, sliders, or crease flies. When conditions are prime, this shallow water angling makes for an exciting visual display - Tarpon waking behind your fly and a top-water "blow-up" finale ... it does not get any better than this! When pursuing migratory Tarpon (40 -100+ lbs.), a 10+ weight rod is essential to battle these silver brutes.
The Lodge and Staff
 The accommodations at Tarpon Cay Lodge are comfortable, bright, and enriched with traditional Mexican decor. With the ocean at its doorstep, the sea breeze and beautiful scenery refreshes the spirit after a long day of fighting Tarpon.
