For many of us, fly-fishing is limited to trout in the nearby stream, or fishing trips with friends to places that can be reached by car. But if you live in America, Mexico is around €300 return plus shared guiding… The fly permit, almost affordable! A HELL of a film to keep you dreaming!
The Permit is now within reach! But beware, it’s not easy to catch and it’s highly addictive! One trip is already too much, and a thousand will never be enough, you’re hooked, no need to wonder if you’ll be able to curb your cravings, just like the salmon or stillhead fishermen, your life will be guided by your need to catch THAT fish, and no matter how many you catch, you’ll always want to catch a bigger one, a prettier one, somewhere else, at the expense of your families, your bank account, nothing else will matter, ONLY the Permit and your obsession of catching it will haunt you. You’ll be tying Flexo crabs and shrimps all night long, buying thousands of $ worth of gear you’ll think is indispensable…
Dude, I’ve got bad news for you: you’re ADDICTED on Permit! And there’s no alternative but not going… you’re screwed, there’s no such thing as controlled consumption, and there’s no substitute. Stay in your river and keep pissing off the trout, which I hope are wild and happy…
In the meantime, take a look at this superb film by Fly Fishing Nation, it’s sick! At a certain season Sargasses seaweeds are bringing crabs with them, and those crabs swim on the surface, that’s when you can catch Permit ON DRY!
