The Tides of March (Merkin)

 We're excited to have been a sponsor at this year's prestigious March Merkin Tournament, a three day permit-on-fly competition in Key West. Battling tough conditions, Greg Smith and guide Scott Collins managed to land three permit on the final day of competition, enough to finish in first place. Check out a blow-by-blow account of the three days from runner-up angler Nathaniel Linville. To see photos of the competition and those involved, check out the March Merkin Facebook page. You'll notice 12wt. gear in some of the photos!

 

The In-Between

12wt. is excited to be involved with the new film endeavor by 12wt. ambassador Will Benson, guide and founder of World Angling. You've probably seen some of his previous films about flats fishing for permit and tarpon. "The In-Between" - his newest work - is a short film about making the most of the short down time between guiding seasons, with a focus on fun and enjoying free time on the flats, while simultaneously letting go of the pressures and baggage from the previous guiding season. 12wt. is a proud sponsor of "The In-Between," which will debut on the Fly Fishing Film Tour.
