Saltwater fly fishing has its roots tangled up with the mangroves’ on the shallow marl-and-turtle grass flats of South Florida.  So it may simply be tradition that drives saltwater fly anglers toward “sight fishing”—the technique of seeking out specific fish and attempting to cast right into their feeding window.  Sight fishing is most often associated with Florida species—bonefish, permit, and tarpon—but the sport’s purists can also try their hand right here in North Carolina, during the false albacore season.
