This footage was shot last year in Stuart Florida with guide John Meskauskas / StuartFlyFishing.com, Nick Pujic and Nicole Parks / Fly Max Films and Rob McAbee / Bug Slinger.

All the stars aligned for this trip back to my hometown of Stuart Florida. John and I had discussed how sweet it would be to film in Stuart and capture what an insane fishery we grew up in. When Nick and Nicole from Fly Max Films and the Canadian Fly Fisher magazine contacted me and asked if I knew of a good place to fish in Florida, I knew it was on.

The plan was to hook up in Stuart during the month of April for the tarpon migration. Thanks to River Palm cottages, we had a great place to call home base. The next 5 days, we were up at 4:30 every morning and on the water until 6:00 pm. Early mornings and long hours on the water certainly paid off in spades. As if the draw of tarpon weren’t enough, permit, snook, jacks, cobia and little tunnies were all brought to the boat as well (all on fly). Too much.

The trip, of course, had to end with everyone already penciling in a follow up this year. Look out jack(s). Some more great video to follow.

The extended version of this video can be seen on the 2010 Fly Fishing Film Tour coming to a town near you.
