Islamorada Tarpon Fly Fishing | April – August
Experience the incredible fishing opportunities the Florida Keys has to offer with Islamorada fly fishing guide, Capt. Jeremy Chavez. The flats of Florida Bay are world-renowned for their clarity and teeming life aided by the abundant seagrass beds. The Keys and Florida Bay produce some of the best fly fishing and light tackle sight fishing opportunities in the world for tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, redfish, and more gamefish species. On any given trip shots at sharks, tripletail, speckled trout, black drum, jack crevalle, grouper, and sheepshead can also arise. The Florida Keys is one of the best fisheries on the planet. Islamorada is known as the Sportfishing Capital of the World for good reason. It’s proximity to the Everglades National Park, one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.
