The Calico Syndicate: A Documentary Film Highlights New Trend

The Calico Syndicate is a documentary about saltwater fly fishing. The documentary was filmed off the coast of Orange County, California. It shows people both in boats and on paddleboards, much like long surfboards, fly fishing for the calico sea bass.

The film is evidence that fly fishing in the ocean is catching on across the globe. For some time now anglers have been fly fishing in the flats of Key West for permit, tarpon and other fish. There have been reports from fly fishermen who have caught tarpon up to 200 lbs. on a fly. In fact, if you’re interested in fly fishing, Key West may be your best choice. You can book fishing charters around the flats of Key West, known as the backcountry.
