Here's a FT piece on VA Tarpon. Gives an overview.

And an Anglers Journal piece too.

It is a tight lipped group that hunt them.

I have fished for tarpon on the Eastern Shore of Va and can tell you it is not an easy game. Last time out we had 19 roll at the boat throughout the day, but with near zero visibility chances of a hookup were slim to none. The tarpon community here is very tight lipped. A good guide catering to fly fishermen may be hard to find.

Where Have All the Tarpon Gone? – Garden & Gun (gardenandgun.com)

Great article on the changes in the Tarpon migration. One sentence references them moving north to the Carolinas and Virginia.

Has anyone here caught a tarpon in Virginia? If so, are there guides that specialize in finding them?

(If you haven't caught a Tarpon on the fly, I'd add to your bucketlist either right before or right after catching a bonefish :-). ) Incredible.
