Scomberomorous Maculatus

Dark above with silvery sides. Many spots, which are both yellow and brown. The body is proportionately deeper than with juvenile King Mackerel, and the yellow spots appear rounder and brighter, but if in doubt, the only true identifier is the lateral line, which tapers rather gently from front to back with no severe dip.

Outstanding game on light tackle; very fast runs.

Flies should be small with lots of flash. Best flies imitate small silvery baitfish.
