Following a successful hosted week in 2026, we are returning to Ascension Bay to target the large migratory tarpon that move through the region during July. For many years, these fish were something of a well-kept secret, with only occasional encounters reported by visiting anglers. In recent seasons, however, the local guides have begun to understand the migration much better, identifying the deeper channels and outer lagoons where these impressive fish gather. Their growing experience is producing increasingly consistent opportunities.

What makes this fishery particularly exciting is the chance to target large tarpon in relatively lightly pressured waters. Many of these fish may rarely, if ever, have encountered an artificial fly. Early mornings and calm conditions can provide wonderful sight-fishing opportunities, with tarpon rolling, cruising or lying close to the surface in the clear Caribbean water. Fish exceeding 100 lb are a realistic possibility, and watching a tarpon of that size turn to follow a fly is an extraordinary experience.

These powerful, acrobatic fish provide some of the most exhilarating saltwater fly fishing imaginable, with explosive takes and spectacular fights. While migratory tarpon will be the principal focus of our July week, Ascension Bay also offers opportunities for permit, bonefish, snook and other flats species. Following the encouraging results of our 2026 trip, we are very much looking forward to returning and exploring the potential of this exciting fishery.
