About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Josh for an action-packed day of fly fishing in the Islamorada flats! The inshore flats in this world-famous fishing hotspot provide excellent year round fishing for a host of sought-after species. Let Captain Josh show you why fly fishers from all over flock to this fishing paradise!

On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Josh will take you into the beautiful Islamorada backcountry flats where you'll be fly fishing for sought-after
fish including Barracuda, Black Drum, Bonefish, Jack Crevalle, Permit, Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. Although many of these elusive fish require some pretty accurate casting, Captain Josh is happy to help anglers of any skill level and will provide expert-level instruction to accommodate you and guests!

You'll be aboard a 17' Maverick HPX-V skiff boat with capacity for 2 anglers. Powered by a 90 HP Mercury engine, this boat was designed with shallow waters in mind and she'll have no problem letting you creep up on even the most skittish fish. It comes equipped with GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches.

Captain Josh will provide all rods, reels, tackle and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any food or drinks you might need. Come aboard with Captain Josh and see what all the Islamorada buzz is about!

Whether on the hunt to catch as many Florida Keys species as possible, or focused on stalking Permit on the flats, Captain Josh looks forward to sharing this world-class fishery with you.

Captain Josh's fly fishing guiding career spans over 10 years and multiple diverse geographies. Excellent with beginners and experts alike, Captain Josh has
seen it all.

From guiding for Salmon and Steelhead in Michigan, to catching Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout in the Grand Tetons of Wyoming, to the breathtaking saltwater species of the Florida Keys, Josh's infatuation with the journey is what keeps him on his toes. He is a student of the sport, and enjoys teaching anglers how to cast and present flies as much as he enjoys watching anglers set the hook, fight the fish, capture the picture, and the release.

From casting artificial lures at Snook and Speckled Trout to targeting Permit, Bonefish, and Tarpon on the fly, Captain Josh looks forward to providing the gear, knowledge, experience, and passion necessary for a fantastic day fishing the Florida Keys.

We had a great start to the day with some early action and a nice redfish in the boat (see photo) but then the weather and conditions turned against us. Despite that Capt Josh worked really hard to find fish, was great company and we had a super day. I would definitely recommend Capt Josh and will fish with him when I come back to the Keys.
