Orvis-Endorsed Fly-Fishing Guide in Florida
Details
Biscayne Bay near Miami is one of the best places in the world to catch record bonefish, permit, and tarpon. Other available species include snook, barracuda, mackerel, grouper, snapper, and many more that will take your fly or lure.
Islamorada is the center for giant tarpon in super shallow water. From April until July, we can do single- to multi-day trips. From Islamorada, we are just a short ride away from the fabled Everglades.
