ADVENTURES
EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK
SKILL LEVEL: EXPERT
Duration: 8-Hour & Full Day Trips Available
Full-Day adventures leaving out of Chokoloskee
Everglades Excursions focus on providing an exceptional saltwater angling experience deep within Everglades National Park. The Everglades is not only a world-class fishery, but also a vital habitat and estuary for Snook, Tarpon, Redfish & more. This wilderness area consists of mangrove labyrinths twisting into rivers and bays flowing to the coastal headwaters, beaches and keys of Florida Bay. ALL of Florida depends on this habitat for clean water and guiding here is a privilege. Not for the faint of heart, travel to the park and fishing is an ALL-day event. Although fly fishing is the primary focus, the use of light tackle is also always available upon request. It is imperative to communicate and get to know your Guide in order to ensure that your excursion is catered to your specific needs and goals. Anglers can expect opportunities at world-class fish, so it is imperative that one practices ahead of time to take advantage of the opportunities when they present themselves. A quick and accurate delivery at distances of 50-60 feet is necessary. These Excursions are customized expert level adventures intended to bring the true Florida Everglades backcountry fishing experience.

PALM BEACH NIGHT LIGHTS
*Highly Recommended*
SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
Duration: 4, 5 & 6 Hour Trips Available
Sight Fishing at Night for Tarpon & Snook on Fly in Palm Beach
In Palm Beach, the best inshore saltwater fly fishing opportunities occur at night. When the sun goes down, the lights around docks and yachts turn on, and so do the fish! These "dock lights" attract small baitfish, much like a moth to a flame. Larger predatory fish like Snook, Jack and Tarpon have learned that these lights provide them with easy meal. In turn, this has created a visually engaging and addictive experience where anglers can expect multiple opportunities to present their fly to gamefish. With proper technique (casting, presentation, retrieve, strip set and fighting angles) it is not uncommon to catch double digits in a single night. Trips start shortly after sunset along the intercoastal and are affected seasonally by weather and tides, so no night is the same. Perfect for anglers of all skill levels looking for a uniquely fun fly fishing experience with plenty of visual action.

SUBURBAN JUNGLE
SKILL LEVEL: NOVICE
Duration: 4, 5 & 6 Hour Trips Available
Enjoy a relaxing day on Lake Ida targeting Peacock Bass and other freshwater species
In South Florida, we are proud to boast the only Peacock Bass fishery within the United States. This invasive species is normally found in Central and South America. As an established South Florida predator, they are extremely colorful, highly aggressive and incredibly territorial. They put up a hard fight for their size, especially on light tackle. They tend to hang out in schools and when fired up, they provide repeated opportunities for anglers to get tight. This makes for fun and exciting fishing for all skill levels, beginner to expert. There are also opportunities to catch other freshwater species such as Smallmouth Bass, Clown Knifefish and Snakeheads depending on location. The Suburban Jungle is an adventure that starts early morning and goes into the afternoon in sheltered calm water conditions. Using live bait will provide plenty of action, but we can always get it done on the fly rod. Perfect for anglers who want to spend a relaxing day on the water with the excitement of catching many fish that can't be found anywhere else in the United States.

BONEFISH BAYS & KEYS
SKILL LEVEL: EXPERT
Duration: 8 Hour Day Trips Available
Sight fishing crystal clear waters of the Florida Keys, Florida Bay & Biscayne Bay
Experience the epitome of sight fishing in some of the most beautiful and legendary waters Florida has to offer. Hunting and stalking Bonefish on the flats and shallows of the Bays & Keys is challenging for even the most proficient angler. Opportunities can be rare and demand the best from both guide and angler working as a team. Unlike the Bahamas, Florida is where world-class anglers come to test their skills against some of the hardest to catch fish and fiercest competition in the world. Bonefish here are incredibly difficult to spot and anglers must use stealth and precision to present their fly to these wary yet fair fish. They are highly visual, eat well and fight with speed making multiple drag screaming runs into your backing. To top it all off, the places they are found provide scenery that is spectacular. Sea grass and sand flats in gin clear water provide an immersive angling experience with up-close and personal encounters with nature. All this breeds a passion and love that makes the Bonefish one of the most highly sought after prizes in Florida waters.
