  The Colquitts have fantastic fly fishing at Silver King Lodge

October found John Colquitt III and son fishing with Clifford. They were fishing with Orvis fly rods 14 weight and a 10 weight. John said the fishing was fantastic. They had fought in excess of 24 tarpon boating 8 with one estimated to be over 110 pounds. When the tarpon weren’t hitting action was fast with giant jack crevalle. John learned the adage that “Jacks Don’t Jump” when he had a hit by a fish that he could have sworn was a large tarpon. After numerous runs and heart stopping dives he found that the strong back bone of his 14 weight rod was able to beat this tarpon that wouldn’t jump. As it came to the surface he was amazed that it was a giant jack topping 20 pounds.
