Magic interview with the man himself. 

The thinking behind, planning and execution of catching record breaking permit is my fav bit. Also he's very candid, admitting that back in the day when they were jamming gaffs into big tarpon, it was a short sighted thing to do. And man, did he guide and fish with other legends. 

Such a cool walk through Quays fly fishing history.

thanks for that Nick,
ill sit down with that tonite, accompanied with my nightly'attitude adjustment'LOL,

Definetly lots learn from that crew, the owner of 'the Anglers company' in key west i met last year, just one example.He wrote an article in'flyfisherman' recently about his Permit sucess. the secret was to get the crab fly to travel in a nice natural straight line.
Achieved that by rather than having all the legs hanging all over as usual, he tys a crab fly with just one big claw out the back, like a tail.
travels real nice, no more of this spinning wobble ya usually get.
Him and his mate are now the winners of the local permit comp every year!
