What types of fly fishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for fly fishing as well as inshore fishing, river fishing, and flats fishing.

The most commonly sought after species for fly fishing are: 1. redfish, 2. tarpon, 3. speckled trout, 4. snook, and 5. rainbow trout.

How much do fly fishing charters cost?

Prices fly fishing can range anywhere from about $450 to $2,785, but the average price for a half day trip fly fishing is $675. The average price for a full day trip fly fishing is $2,782.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for going on a fly fishing charter?

The most popular season to go on a fly fishing charter is spring, and most anglers book their trips 23 days in advance.

Do I need a fishing license and what are the bag limits?

    Great guide, friendly, helpful and an excellent fisherman. I came looking for bone and permit and caught both. A number 1; could not have asked for more.

    I have fished with numerous guides and have over fifty years of fishing experience myself with over 120 days per year for the past 20 years. Andrew has extensive knowledge of the areas we fished and is a very skilled fisherman as well as an excellent guide. His boat is both comfortable and clean as is the fishing gear. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone interested in fishing the Key Largo area. And yes, we caught fish.

    I had a great experience with Captain Mike. He has 20 years experience in the waters around St. Augustine and provided the exact experience I requested. Flats fly fishing for redfish. Also good personality and great conversations while moving between fishing spots. Would recommend him to anyone.

    Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and most important… he took us to where the fish were biting. Had a great experience and caught plenty of fish for dinner. He was patient with all of us and attentive as well. Fished multiple spots. Kept the trip moving. I would recommend.

    We had an awesome time tarpon fishing with Fernando. We saw an insane number of fish with plenty of giants mixed in and were able to boat a few on the fly! The lagoons are beautiful and we were the only boat out there. Amazing trip, can't wait to get back! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    My buddy and I had an awesome time fishing with Kevin and Lee. This was our first time carp fishing and it didn't disappoint. These guys run a great program from setting up a nice camp (with fresh coffee) to cannonball launching multiple rods with their cornmeal balls that carp love. We had numerous bites on a quick trip and landed a giant! Kevin and Lee were first class handling the fish and got some great shots for us. – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Hey Anglers, Born and raised here in Florida I feel like i know quite a bit about fishing, but our fishing guide Andrew was as good as they come. Hands down the best guide I have ever been out on the water with down here in the Keys. We pulled off a Keys slam... Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish. What a great day on the water. Thank Andrew for treating us to an amazing day. Tight lines, Frank
