Fly Fishing in Southwest Florida
Sunny Southwest Florida is the premier location for fly fishing in the world. Fly fishing is commonly mistaken as only being able to fish inland in freshwater rivers, creeks and lakes. The local estuaries, creeks and bays in Southwest Florida are loaded with many species of game fish, and most of these species can be caught on flies. Fly fishing charters exist year-round; regardless of the fishing season or month, there are several Southwest Florida species of fish ready to grab your fly and give you the fishing adventure of a lifetime.
Sanibel and Captiva Islands is a unique area in which anglers can enjoy saltwater fly fishing. Imagine casting to a redfish swimming amongst some mangrove flats, and watch it pounce on the fly. Another common sight viewed on Tight Lines Fishing Charters is that of a 120+ pound tarpon chasing the fly with its huge mouth, and watching the fly become engulfed into the tarpon's mouth, and it runs with such tremendous speed and starts rolling uncontrollably, making you bow to it with each leaping breach. The most difficult part about fly fishing for tarpon in Southwest Florida is not making them grab the fly, but to keep them hooked on to it! A tarpon’s mouth is very strong and rigid, and resemble the texture of sandpaper. Catching a tarpon on a fly is the ultimate fishing experience that will never be forgotten.
There are a variety of other species that can be caught on a fly rod, whether inshore or offshore: ladyfish, kingfish, cobia, flounder, snappers, etc.
