It wasnt too long ago that the idea of fly-fishing for permit would raise eyebrows. Then again, for some fly-fishers, raising eyebrows is the whole point. Jack Samson has been saltwater fly-fishing for most of his career, and by now he might just be the most famous permit angler around. Permit on a Fly is the result of years spent perfecting a very difficult craft. Its hard enough to find permit, as they tail about on the saltwater flats rooting for crabs; then you have to execute a perfect cast with a perfect fly. And if youre masterful enough to induce a take... well, hang on! Sampson relates his years of chasing these magnificent game fish around exotic tropical locales, providing all of us hopeful permit anglers with some good instruction along the way.

"First permit or last, you never forget any of them because nobody catches enough to become blas on the subject." the late A. J. McClane, fishing editor, Field & Stream
Capt. John Cass had caught seventy-seven permit on regular tackle when he was interviewed by George Reiger in 1973 for Reiger's fine book Profiles in Salt Water Angling: "'Strictly between us,' Cass told Reiger, 'bonefish are a pushover on a fly. I caught three the first morning I tried.' 'How about permit?' George asked. 'Oh, that's another story.' 'Ever get one with a fly?' 'Not yet,' Cass admitted."
"The brown trout may frustrate you, but a permit will drive you mad. I kissed the first one I caught; it weighed only five pounds." Lefty Kreh
"Some of the most experienced fly rodders in the world are thrilled to catch a permiteven if it weights only five or six pounds." Mike Wolverton, saltwater editor, Fly Fishing
"If you think that trout are spooky and sometimes tough to catch, take the most difficult trout situations you've experienced and multiply them by a factor of ten and you'll get some idea of how difficult it is to approach a permit and get it to take your fly." George Anderson, inventor of the McCrab Fly
"Flats permit are the status symbol of saltwater fly fishing, the fish that gives credentials to one's skill and angling stature." Dan Blanton

The Atlantic permit, Trachinotus falcatus, is a member of the family Carangidae, the pompano family, and has a number of relatives. The permit is sometimes referred to as the great pompano and, when young, the round pompano. It has a number of names in the western Caribbean and is generally known as palometa to native guides and fishermen, but the true palometa is slightly different and carries the Latin name
