RIO&';s Smelling Salt was designed with the laid up tarpon in mind, with a soft landing presentation, foul preventing mono loop under the tail, and neutral buoyancy for a perfect fishing fly. On recent research trips it was noted that this fly also had a very interesting side effect, in addition to tarpon, snook couldn&';t keep their mouths away from it. This pattern is ideal for the Florida fisherman that doesn&';t necessarily want to purchase "tarpon specific" patterns, and would rather buy patterns that will work for many species.
