Stu Apte’s Tarpon Fly

Lefty Kreh credited Stu Apte with being one of the first to develop these Keys-style tarpon flies and said in his Saltwater Fly Patterns that this fly, should be in every serious tarpon angler’s box. It’s a great fly, light and full of movement, yet striking enough to catch their attention. It’s also a pretty easy tie so you can easily tie a trip’s worth in a sitting.
