- A classic fly fishing film we resurrected from our archives featuring legendary angler Bill Bate. Billy describes the basics of fly fishing for the Silver King. Fly Rodding For Tarpon was first released in 1988 as part of the Scientific Anglers Mastery video series.

Classic! Haven’t watched in over 20 years. Thanks for uploading!
Glad you enjoyed it
Likewise!
This video was the seed that started my career desire to fish saltwater & saltwater gamefish on a fly. Awesome to see it again. 18 yrs later still love Tarpon fishing & the info in this video never gets old.thanks for uploading. Hope you can do more of your videos.
My absolute dream. Live the life.
Thanks John! We also released the Challenge of the Giant Tarpon with Billy Pate! Along with many other films from over the years.
I loved the 3-M Mastery Series! Thanks.
Sorry, Scientific Anglers Mastery Series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful! Love the straightforward exchange of knowledge. The interface with the guide is such an overlooked component these days. One for the archives.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I️ called the 800 number at the end of the video for a lead on a great guide. Just some folks trying to sell car insurance :( Ha! My guide shared with me before heading out to chase tarpon in the morning, definitely a fun and informative video! Thanks for releasing on TH-cam for all to see SA!!
Haha that phone number has probably changed hands a few times since this was filmed.
Yes..its Megalops Atlantica again folks...ready for that moment !!!
Absolutely!
This is utterly worth watching. I have his Tarpon reel. What’s SA’s best WF sink tip fly line 12 weight?
Hello Joseph, check out our Tarpon Taper! That would be your best 12wt Tarpon line from us.
Luv watching this, one question I have is does the color of the fly line spook Tarpon , can they see it you can have a 9’ leader and tippet but does the colored fly line spook them🤔
There is a lot of debate over fly line color and spooking Tarpon! Subtle colors are preferred by most anglers and guides.
@@ScientificAnglers, I’ve noticed that a lot of fly lines are bright colors , orange , bright powder blue , high visibility green , or yellow , it doesn’t make sense to me that manufacturers make these colors when the whole idea is to present a natural looking bait and camouflage the connecting line to it , a pale green , or clear if can be made seem a more sensible choice, my other question is why are fly lines so 👈🏻 expensive 😳💸💸☹️
"Look at the fish at 11 oclock Billy"
Such a fun video!
Evans claimed that these Pate videos was the end of Homossasa…
The days before social media and of course TH-cam!
