FLORIDA KEYS FLY FISHING
 Anglers from around the World descend upon the Florida Keys with fly rods in hand. Situated perfectly in the middle of the tarpon migration, the Florida Keys channels the movements of the annual giant tarpon migration from Key West to Key Largo. While the fishing world is well aware of the tarpon fishery available to fly-rodders, many species go unnoticed to all but the educated.
In the Florida Keys, it is possible to fly fish every day of the year. Tarpon, Permit and Bonefish get top billing but over 30 other species are catchable on fly. These species include: 5 species of shark, several species of mackerel and jacks, tuna, sailfish, dolphin, barracuda, grouper, snapper, redfish, snook and even goliath grouper
If you are searching for a flyfishing guide, you should make sure to check out the guides resume and make sure that he is dedicated to flyfishing. Many guides will simply go about a day with a flyfisherman the same way that they would any other angler. The result will be highly unproductive and disappointing.
A good flyfishing guide understands what it takes to get a customer to catch a fish on fly just as a good flyfishing customer understands the value of a true flyfishing guide. Make sure that your guide has experience with fly anglers and enjoys taking them.
