Places To Fish Across Florida

  • Florida Keys


    • The Keys regularly make lists of the most stunning fishing spots in the United States, and there's a good reason for that. The fishing here is good year round, ask the tourists who visit here to grab a charter and go in search of oceanic trophies - but for fly anglers, late winter or early spring is arguably the best time to visit.

  • Lake Okeechobee


    • While it's frequently regarded as one of the most illustrious fishing destinations in the United States. Bassmaster ranked it at number eight on their 2013 list of the nation's best bass lakes, for instance, it's still not known for fly fishing. 

  • Lizard Flats


    • If you are planning to take a Florida vacation with family, you are going to want to find the spots that are conveniently located in relation to big cities and tourist centers. The Lizard Flats fit that qualification.

  • The Everglades


    • In 2004, ESPN ranked the Everglades as the world's number one saltwater fly fishing destination. If we were really worried about ranking the items on this list, we might be inclined to agree. The Everglades National Park is a vast area, and it's the home to plentiful fly fishing opportunities.

  • The Little Econ River


    • The Little Econ River, where "Econ" is short for "Econlockhatchee," is not only a beautiful escape from the bustle of Orlando and all of its nearby theme parks, but it's also a great place to catch bass and other fish on a fly.

  • Lake Kissimmee


    • As one of the most dependable producers of fish in all of Florida, Lake Kissimmee should be on your list if you are only in the state for a short time and want to make sure that you get a few catches under your belt while you're here.

  • Rodman Reservoir


    • The second highest ranked Florida body of water on Bassmaster's 2013 best bass lakes, Rodman Reservoir is yet another place not traditionally known for fly fishing.

  • Lake Tarpon


    • As its name implies, Lake Tarpon is a great place to catch tarpon of many sizes by using a fly rod in the shallows. It's also renowned as a great bass fishing lake, making it a body of water that will draw anglers of virtually all tastes and aspirations.


You Want To Go Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is an angling technique where an artificial "fly" is used to fool fish into biting.  The techniques used to cast and present the weightless fly differ greatly from any other form of angling. When fly fishing, you cannot cast a standard lure; spinner or plug with a fly rod and line, and likewise, you cannot cast a weightless fly with a spin casting rod and reel. The weight and taper of the fly line itself are what allows the fisherman to cast and present the lightweight fly. Fly fishers use flies that resemble aquatic insects, baitfish, and other prey sources, and are created by tying natural feathers to a hook to replicate the natural subject of the fish’s attention.
