Every tarpon angler eventually learns that the fish are not always in the mood for bright colors and optimism. The Black Death is the fly for those moments -- an all-black rabbit strip confession that sinks into the water column like a bad mood and somehow makes tarpon lose their composure. Fish it at dawn, at dusk, or in the murky outgoing tide of Bahia Honda, and prepare for violence.
