trip description for Inshore flats and backcountry fishing. in Vero Beach

The Indian River (originally name the "Rio de Ais") is a 156 mile long brackish waterway with an average depth of 4ft and widths varying from 0.5 to 5 miles. Heavily lined with mangrove forests, sandy islands and hidden oyster beds makes it one of the most unique fishing experiences out there. Our favorite species to target are Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout and Snapper. With a river that holds 685 different species of fish, every day on the water is a good day. We are a LGBTQ women owned outdoor guide company focusing on the sustainability and conservation of the environment around us while providing a safe and comfortable space for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. We know how intimidating it can be to exist as a person that people see as different in the outdoor industry. In knowing this, we do not discriminate against any race, gender or sexual orientation. Everyone is welcome to join us on a trip where you can truly be yourself and learn just how amazing the outdoors can be. Read More
