#CaptCarlBall showed me his favorite #Permit fly. The trick here is a two handed strip. And if he says these work that’s all I need to hear. Tied these three prototypes and worked out all my mistakes. @awolfishing #jodymoore #flytying #saltwaterflyfishing #rodnbarrel #biscaynebay https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqUMttvEzV/?utm_medium=tumblr

A Rod&Barrel Moment
A Rod&Barrel moment isn’t always that moment when you hoist a big fish out of the water that just gave you a memorable fight that is forever captured in a photo or that moment when that picture is snapped as you lift that buck’s head by ints antlers that you just blood tracked and found. Most Rod&Barrel moments are when all forces of nature come together in perfect union of light, air, water and matter to let you know you are alive at a special moment of time. Like the photo above taken in the remote and not easily accessed backcountry waters of Florida’s Lower Keys. That moment when high sun lights up the azure and aquamarine waters that make up the shallow lakes ringed by small uninhabited keys. That time when winds lay down to 0-mph causing the surface of the water become a perfect mirror of the sky and clouds. Mirror smooth waters that make you feel like your are riding on air as you steer and navigate your boat around the shallow flats and through the channels that bisect those flats and the cuts between the mangrove studded islands. All the while you look for signs of fish either above or below the surface. That, my friends, is a Rod&Barrel moment.
Who needs R&R when you can have R&B?

Mudding Bonefish
When most people imagine bonefishing, visions of tailing bonefish in ankle deep water is what their minds eye sees. While this is a common action of bonefish they are not always found in waters at the lowest stage of the tide. Many times bonefish stay on a flat well after it has flooded and continue feeding. While they are nearly impossible to see in deeper water if they are swimming with their flanks facing you that’s because their silvery sides reflect the bottom they are swimming over. But they do give themselves away if they are actively feeding. Keeping and eye out for puffs of mud or “smokey” patches of water may be an indication of feeding bonefish. If you do see little mud puffs look around the area and see if you spy a bonefish or a school working their way across the flats. Know too, that bonefish in deeper waters are far less spooky than they are in ankle deep water so you can lay a fast sinking fly fairly close to them with out spooking them.
