Catching Up: FFFT 2010, welikepermit.com, Big Everglades Tarpon

So far so good for the Fly Fishing Film Tour’s Florida swing this year.  I got a chance to catch up with the tour in Tampa, followed by Stuart, and the other night in Key West.  Both the Tampa and Stuart shows were a big hit with more than 200 people attending each show.  In Key West, about 50 people showed up, and we might have set the record for the smallest show to date!  Last year in Key West, we had about 150 people, some driving down from the upper keys and Miami.  I think word had gotten out about the showings at the IGFA on April 23-24, and this deterred people from driving down.  I can’t blame them.  All in all this year’s show is the best one yet!

A few weeks ago, we started thinking about ideas for what to do for next year’s film tour, and we came up with one.  What if we can assemble a crew of people obsessed/interested in fly fishing for permit, take over a house in the Lower Keys, and spend a month this summer trying to capture the craziness?

Our idea: welikepermit.com

We are inviting everyone that wants to come down!  For real.  Just let us know why you like permit, and when you’ll show up.  In the meantime, we’ll probably be out tarpon fishing if the weather will ever cooperate.
