Tarpon Fly Fishing Invitational

Power the tournament and protect our waterways.  Your support fuels event operations, with the remaining dollars going straight to the Calusa WaterKeeper.

Held each May, the Tarpon Fly Fishing Invitational is a two-day tournament that celebrates the thrill of pursuing the "silver king" on the fly.   Anglers team up for competitive catch-and-release fishing, complemented by social events, dinners, and an awards ceremony.  Rooted in community and conservation the tournament proudly supports the Calusa Waterkeeper and its mission to protect local waterways. 

The on-line auction will transition to a live auction Sunday night on May 17, 2026.

Paper bidding sheets will be available for all items that are up for auction starting Sunday night.

On May 19, 2026, approximately 5:30 pm, all bidding will close and winners will be announced approximately 6:30 pm.

If you are the winning bidder, you must be present on May 19, 2026, to settle the bid and make arrangements for delivery.

If you are not present at the closing ceremonies and not available to close your bid, your bid will be deemed null and void.  The next highest bidder will be deemed the winner and should be ready to close his or her bid.  So, everyone who has bid, even if it's not the winning bid, should be there for just such a possibility.

Good luck to all and most of all, have fun!  Proceeds will be used to help fund our wonderful event and net proceeds will be used to benefit the Calusa Waterkeeper.
