Information about Permit flies
Permit has been called the holy grail of fly fishing. They are one of the most challenging fly rod sport fish. They live in places where the water is crystal clear. You can guarantee a powerful fight - once hooked steady fast runs, and many quick changes of direction. Pound for pound their fight is as good as it gets.

Del Brown’s "Merkin" fly has accounted for more fly caught permit than any other pattern.
It is an old standby fly that's been around for years. You can't beat this pattern for sight casting to permit.

The motion triggers the fish to eat and this pattern seems to creates the illusion of scuttling legs
