What can be said about fly fishing in Florida that hasn't already been said? Florida provides some of the greatest saltwater fly fishing opportunities in the United States. Anglers can chase a variety of highly prized species such as marlin, bonefish, tarpon, redfish, and snook. Options range from deep sea fishing to patrolling hard bottom flats to prowling mangroves and estuaries. Some of the greatest fly fisherman have called Florida their home. Regardless, successful fly fishing in Florida involves understanding the methods and seasons of fishing in the various regions of the state. The west coast, Gulf of Mexico, Panhandle, Everglades, and the Florida Keys all make for unique fishing playgrounds for the adventurous fly fisher.
