I started fishing out of john boats and on the banks of golf courses in central Florida, and the first time I laid a line in the Mosquito Lagoon I became obsessed. Spending every spare minute of the last decade trying to tie the perfect fly, build the perfect rod, and lay down the perfect cast.

Eventually I found that I loved working the poll just as much as I loved catching the fish, which led me to pursue guiding.
Putting my clients on fish is just as exciting as hooking into my own.

Taylor was a great captain who was a joy to fish with and put us on the fish. He's an easy going guy who, despite being a younger captain, already has considerable experience in Mosquito Lagoon. He was right on time, the boat was clean and well-organized, and spotted so many fish for us. Taylor is your secret weapon in the Lagoon.
