About Your Trip
Step into some of the most iconic inshore waters in the country with a fly and light tackle fishing trip through Southwest Florida’s backcountry. From the remote mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands to the clear flats of Pine Island Sound, these trips are built around sight fishing, adapting to conditions, and targeting quality fish in a world-class fishery.
You’ll have the opportunity to fish areas like Everglades National Park, Ten Thousand Islands, Pine Island
Sound, and surrounding waters near Naples, Fort Myers, and Sanibel Island.
The Experience
Each trip is tailored to the conditions, tides, and your goals for the day. Whether you’re throwing flies or working light tackle, the focus is on reading water, spotting fish, and making the right presentation.
Target species may include tarpon, snook, redfish, trout, tripletail, black drum, sheepshead, and jack crevalle depending on the season. From laid-up tarpon to cruising redfish on the flats, these waters offer a mix of technical and rewarding fishing.
This is a hands-on, immersive experience suited for anglers of all levels, with guidance provided throughout the day to help you improve and stay engaged.
The Boat & Setup
You’ll be fishing from a 17’ technical poling skiff designed for shallow water and sight fishing. It’s a quiet, stable platform that allows access to skinny water and prime backcountry habitat.
Top-tier rods, reels, and hand-tied flies are provided, along with tackle, fishing licenses, water, and lunch. There’s also room onboard if you’d like to bring additional food or drinks.
What Sets It Apart
This fishery is as diverse as it is scenic—ranging from remote, untouched mangrove systems to open flats with crystal-clear water. Each area offers a different style of fishing, keeping every trip dynamic and engaging.
Good to Know
Be sure to bring polarized sunglasses, sun protection, and appropriate clothing for the conditions. These trips run year-round, with locations and species adjusted to match the time of year.
