We have been definitely getting our share of rain in the Everglades over the last few weeks. You can tell that it has been raining because the fishing has been really good. The baby tarpon action in the backcountry and outfront on the flats has been on fire. These fish are not typically picky and…
One of the most common questions I get asked is about fly fishing setups when fly fishing the Everglades. The Everglades is so vast and the angling opportunities seem endless. There is so much to do on a daily basis and there are days where I have a set plan of attack, and for one…
I have only been out a few days in the past week due to the park closure over the weekend with the potential storm that never made it to us. (Which is a good thing!) Another good thing is that the entire Everglades got pounded with rain so that freshwater should really help the Everglades.…
I had the opportunity to fish some of my favorite all time rods recently. Biscayne Rods might be the best inshore rods that you can purchase. They have a bunch of different size rods and now carry a legacy series rod. This blank is the same as the Billy Baroo series. I just ordered 4…

They flock here starting April, some staying until the full moon of July. Bleary-eyed and all but patiently waiting with their fishing rods in these fishing paths, these anglers are out for one reason: to…
