I’ve never done it but it’s on my list. I’ve seen them tailing in shallow water while fishing for peacocks but never have anything appropriate to throw to them.

Peacocks are awesome but, man if you were going to go to Florida for one reason only, it would have to be for tarpon.

Peacocks are super aggressive on the take and will blast a fly at high speed. The smaller butterfly peacocks in South Florida fight a lot like smallmouth, jumping and bulldogging you. They’re a blast.
