Finally Breaking the Double-Digit Barrier

For every game-fish species, there’s a benchmark size that fly fishers dream of. These can change from location to location—for instance, a “monster” rainbow in my home state of Vermont might be an average fish in Alaska—but the angler’s satisfaction is the same.

I’ve landed a few tarpon over 100 pounds, and a permit that pushed 40 pounds, but I had never managed to land a bonefish over 10 pounds. That all changed this past November when I fished the Middle Bight of Andros with Capt. Harry Neymour on a trip to Frankie’s Two Boys Inn.
