Fly Fishing

Our boat is set up well for flyfishing. The deck is clean. It takes us where we need to go. Capt. Karty will find the fish for you and give you the approach you need to deliver. You will be offered use of various flies that are productive in Mosquito Lagoon.

The ideal place to learn fly casting is not in a boat. Spend some time in a grassy area, honing your casting skills.

Some of our fly anglers get so frustrated within the first fifteen minutes of fishing that they hang it up and grab a spinning setup. Which is fine with the Captain but he wishes they had worked on their skills first. Flyfishing isn’t easy, isn’t always productive by any means, and it isn’t for every angler.

To successfully flyfish in the flats for Redfish and Seatrout, you need to be able to doublehaul. However, many casts may be short and near the boat.

You need an 8 or 9 weight. setup with floating weight forward flyline.

“Had a wonderful time fishing with you. You are a great guide with an outstanding personality.”
-Ginny & Bob Irwin of Summerfield, Florida

“I had a great time, nothing like flyfishing to Reds. I have fished with dozens of guides over the years and you, Capt. Karty, are the best & most enjoyable I’ve had. You took my casting shortcomings in stride and put me on some great schools of fish. You can bet I’ll be back, can’t wait.”
-Luc Paquet of Canyon Lake, California
