80 is perfect anytime, anywhere. 80 in the Keys. 80 in the Rockies. 80 80 80. In the Rockies, that usually means the day starts out in the 50's, and reaches the low 80's sometime in the mid-afternoon, followed by late day clouds and a possible shower to cool things off slightly.
No layers, no gloves, no socks. Just light pants or shorts, a tee shirt or very light long-sleeve for sun protection, and Tevas! My fly stays dry with one false-cast, the fish are always looking up, and there are daily hatches of something.
Summer is just way too dammed short, but for about 10 or 12 weeks, 80 is perfect!
In the Florida Keys, the tarpon's preferred water temperature is around 80. So is the fisherman's!
