Join a prestigious tradition at the 52nd Annual Don Hawley Invitational Tarpon Fly Tournament, a cornerstone of the Florida Keys fly-fishing community since 1975. This elite five-day event attracts the world's most skilled fly anglers to the legendary waters of Islamorada for a high-stakes, catch-and-release pursuit of the "Silver King." Operating under strict 12-lb tippet rules, the tournament emphasizes conservation-minded sportsmanship and teamwork between anglers and their guides.
Beyond the thrill of the competition, the event serves a vital role in supporting the Guides Trust Foundation, raising funds to benefit local inshore fishing guides and the coastal communities they call home. It is a premier experience that combines intense athletic skill with a deep commitment to the future of the fishery.
