Indo-Pacific Permit fishing
About Indo-Pacific Permit
A spooky, hard-pulling flats fish of tropical Indian Ocean lagoons and reef edges, the Indo-Pacific permit is a top fly and light-tackle prize. It tails over sand and rubble hunting crabs and shrimp, so accurate casts and crab patterns are key. Once hooked it makes long, dogged runs that test light gear.
Typical size: Typically 40 to 70 cm; trophy fish over 80 cm and 5 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 14 kg (varies by region).
