About Fly Fishing Charters

We offer fly fishing charters on two different platforms bay boats and flats fishing boats. Both are designed with the shallows and getting way back in the islands in mind giving our anglers a great casting platform to fly fish from at any level. We can set the fly fishing trips up for hard core experienced anglers that want to sight fish Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, Redfish and Snook. We can also set up for a little easier targets such as barracudas, shark, snappers, jacks and shallow water grouper..

Fly fishing charters are the same rates as backcountry fishing and flats fishing charters. We supply all the fly fishing gear, leaders an flies you will need to make a great day of it. Because we can only fish one person at a time we recommend that our anglers keep it to 2 or less on a boat. While one person is casting the other will have to wait their turn. The bay boats can carry up to 3, although we can do it, we don't recommend it.

Basic Recommendations

Be as honest with us as possible about your skill levels in fly fishing. This will aid us in placing you with the right fly fishing guide that will be best for your needs. Always wear lose fitting clothes and sunglasses for eye protection when fly fishing for safety reasons. If you are booking a fly fishing adventure in the summer consider the heat and how long you think you can handle it. Barefoot or deck shoes are fine.

Bringing Your Own Gear

There is really nothing like catching a trophy fish on your own fly rod - we get it. You are welcome to bring your own gear but please make sure it is up to the challenge of saltwater fly fishing. 7 - 12 wt rods with fast tips and 9+ ft long. For flats fishing we use a weight forward floating line. For tarpon fishing we use 11 and 12 weight lines both floating and intermediate for our needs here. Make sure your drag systems are large surface and disperse heat from friction well.
