I would tie up a lot of crazy charley variations and small crab patterns. Remember to tie a few darker colors as well. Had some fish last year at Truneffe that would not touch the tans but jumped on the ones tied with Japanese tunuckie(SP). Wife had her coat altered and could not pass up the chance. The guard hairs were dark brown.

Watch which hook you use on the tarpon. You may want to go to a 3 or 4 x. I sure some of the other guys and gals here can steer you right.

Have a great time!
