2026 is here! With a new year comes fresh starts and a new season of Tarpon Fly Fishing along the Florida Gulf Coast. As winter looses her grip on the Gulf Coast and milder weather influences the inshore water temps Tarpon begin to appear in their various staging areas in prep for the annual migration. The migration that haunts so many of our dreams. A Florida Gulf Coast flat with that perfect edge to draw a large area of migrating Tarpon to one spot, (the tarpon spot.) These locations are burned into our memories, as a guide you can remember every fish caught over the locations you hold dear. It’s the contrast between different day’s brought on by tide, wind, and sun. Panhandle Heritage Fly Fishing has been locating migratory tarpon for Fly Fishing Anglers for over 25 years. We have taken great pride over the years locating and providing the most coveted shot in Saltwater Fly Fishing. Tarpon Fly Fishing along the Big Ben and Panhandle of Florida near towns like Panacea, Alligator Point, Saint Teresa, Lanark Village, Carrabelle, Apalachicola, and Port Saint Joe. these locations provide the right combo of shallow swimming fish and good edges that consolidate the migrating mass to certain points. We Fly Fish for tarpon out of one or more of these locations on any given day from April – Sept. Contact us today to reserve a spot on our annual Apalachicola/Panhandle Tarpon Fly Fishing Season.
