Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tarpon - virginia question?

Amusingly, both articles close with the same quote.  It seems the madness of throwing bugs at cobia near the Bay Bridge Tunnel might be less grueling.

Apologies for the threadomancy, but I was talking about this while out fishing with a friend a few weeks ago and am glad to see the topic here.  

I found Zach Pfignst who guides out of Cape Charles when I was recruiting speakers for PRSC, and he does target them: https://marshmadnesscharters.com/.  

There was also a conventional tackle guide from that area who spoke at the Lefty Kreh Tie fest back in 2020.  He was very upfront that he would put you on the fish but couldn't help with any fly fishing stuff.  At the time he said it was him and one other guide offering trips and they politely didn't share info with each other.

Here's a FT piece on VA Tarpon. Gives an overview. 

It is a tight lipped group that hunt them.

I have fished for tarpon on the Eastern Shore of Va and can tell you it is not an easy game. Last time out we had 19 roll at the boat throughout the day, but with near zero visibility chances of a hookup were slim to none. The tarpon community here is very tight lipped. A good guide catering to fly fishermen may be hard to find.

Where Have All the Tarpon Gone? – Garden & Gun (gardenandgun.com)

Great article on the changes in the Tarpon migration.  One sentence references them moving north to the Carolinas and Virginia.

Has anyone here caught a tarpon in Virginia?   If so, are there guides that specialize in finding them?

(If you haven't caught a Tarpon on the fly, I'd add to your bucketlist either right before or right after catching a bonefish :-).  )  Incredible.
