We have finally got our first real cold blast of weather (by South Florida standards) this week with temperatures dropping into the mid 40s and water temperatures dropping into the low 60s. There were some big tarpon in the back country before the weather moved in and this will definitely push them out until water…
I have been fishing out of Flamingo in Everglades National Parkall week and the fishing remains outstanding. There has been lots of snook caught this week on both fly and plugs. The key to finding these fish is moving water around structure. It is not uncommon to find those two variables and catch 15-20 snook…
The much anticipated fly rod has finally become available to the public. I was fortunate enough to my hands on one and put it to the test in the Everglades. There are two different style rods. One is the F (feel) and the other is D (distance). The F is a little bit faster rod…
This is the time of year that we have some pretty goodtarpon fishingin the backcountry as long as the weather allows. When the we have these warm days in between the fronts, the tarpon come into the backcountry to feed. These are big fish ranging from 60lbs-120lbs. On the slick days, a fly is about…

The snook fishing in the backcountry has been absolutely outstanding. There are lots of smaller fish around and some bigger ones mixed in. It is not uncommon to catch…
This fall has been some of the best fishing that I can remember. The snook are everywhere and the baby tarpon are just as abundant. It has been extremely refreshing to see. I have been spending a lot of time deep in the Everglades looking for these guys and they not to hard to find.…
Post Irma fishing has been incredible. There is a lot of freshwater in the park right now and these fish love freshwater. The more freshwater the better the fishing is in the Everglades. Hopefully we have a somewhat wet winter and spring, as that usually gives us a good tarpon season in the Everglades, providing…
The backcountry continues to be absolutely on fire. The snook fishing is as good as gets right now with lots of fish in the 14 in to 25 in range. They have been eating flies and plugs really good. It has been such a breathe of fresh air to see all these fish around in…
It has been quite a few weeks fishing for snook in the Everglades. There has been a lot of smaller fish around with some bigger ones mixed in. Most fish are in that 15in to 25 in range which is a blast on fly and light tackle. With all the rai we have had this…
We are starting to get our regular cold fronts blowing through every few days now. The water temps have dropped 8-10 degrees and looks like this will be the pattern for the next few months. The good news is, the snook fishing has been on fire. Lots and lots of small snook all over the…
