The coker smoker is a classic tarpon fly for the Florida Keys. This is one of the “go to” flies in the spring for migrating tarpon in the southern Florida Keys. The smoker is a keys style fly tied to be sturdy and land light. It has withstood the test of time and continues to be a staple in every tarpon hunter’s fly box.
