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, flats fishing, and river 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 $2,494, but the average price for a half day trip fly fishing is $779. The average price for a full day trip fly fishing is $2,245.

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?

See here for more information on fishing licenses, bag limits, and fishing season regulations. When in doubt, your fishing guide will always know the right rules and regulations.

    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

    Trip: Extreme Tarpon - 20’ Twin Vee

  • ★★★★★
    My buddy and I had an epic time with Ryan. Ryan's super dialed in and knows every nook and cranny of the lowcountry like the back of his hand. He put us on some really nice reds and had some helpful tips to improve my fly cast. Can't recommend highly enough and can't wait to get back out there. Also his Maverick skiff is sick. Also wore some trout out before rushing back to our wedding! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Trip: Lowcountry's Tidal Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    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

    We had a great time despite less than ideal conditions. Kyle did an excellent job running down every possibility to find fish. We eventually caught some nice trout. All in all we learned a lot, Kyle is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his company. We plan to take another trip with Kyle.

    Me and my family went out with captain Zach and had an awesome day. Weather wasn’t in our favour but made the best of it and landed some fish!
