Fly Fishing Charters We Offer
Fun Fly Fishing
It's not about
what we catch its about catching. Join us for a fun time
on the water as we explore with you to go and catch what
is available and within your experience on fly. Any
given day we can go out and show you lots of fish that
will entertain the most seasoned salt water fly angler
and make an easy catch for the beginner or learner. We
custom tailor this trip to fit everyone. This trip is
easily done as a go along with spin fishing as well.
Grand Slam Fly Fishing
The Flats
This trip is not for beginners to
saltwater fly fishing in Key West. When an angler tells
us they want to go after the "Big Three" Tarpon, Permit,
Bonefish, Redfish, or Snook on fly or the "Grand Slam"
we as guides expect to see that the angler has skill
sets to match the demand of this kind of fishing or the
desire to learn.
A double Haul is going to be
necessary to beat the wind. A Cast of 60+ feet will be
required to be successful, That distance attainable in
less than three false casts from fly in Hand. Patience
and understanding with long periods of no casting are
typically required for this kind of fly fishing
experience.
Fly Fishing For Permit
The holy grail of fly fishing. This
type of angling can and will tax your patience and skill
to the maximum of your endurance. A skill set as a
master fly caster is required here. Your guide will be a
veteran permit fishing guide that will put you on the
fish. all you have to do is accurately make the cast.
Capt. Steven Lamp has been taking
anglers fly fishing for permit for over 12 years. He
will fish you traditionally on a flats boat or the
comfort of a bay boat. This is a demanding sport and
requires the anglers utmost concentration and abilities.
Fly Fishing For Tarpon
The months of May and June offer a
tremendous flow of migrating tarpon moving through the
Key West Waters. Fish for them traditionally from a
flats boat with one of our top flats fishing guides or
take advantage of our bay boats for added
maneuverability and increase your number of shots with
the use of trolling motors. Your choice, either way we
will show you the fish and give you the shots.
Fly Fishing Equipment
Our Gear
Our fly rod fishing equipment
selection is extensive. Probably the largest selection
of fly gear in Key West besides the fly shop themselves.
With Names Like Orvis, T&T, Sage, G-Loomis, Redington,
Old Florida, Vortex, Harris, Pfleuger, Sea Master, Fin
Nor and Vann Stahl we cover all of it. This is all

all Orvis Wonder Line. We really love the stuff. We find
that it works very well in all situations.

time to do, however we fish to much. Orvis patterns and
local fly patterns are the ones we use the most and make
them available to you at no charge.

what you are accustomed to for a retrieve.
What hand do you like to reel with?
