Fly fishing in the Florida Keys is as pure as it gets — shallow water, visual shots, challenging fish, and some of the most technical sight fishing in the world. Whether you’re casting to migrating tarpon, tailing permit, or cruising bonefish, this fishery demands accuracy, patience, and a love for the hunt.
For fly anglers, the Keys are a proving ground. Clear water makes every movement count, and the fish will teach you more in one week than you could learn in a year anywhere else. It’s a place where the next cast could be the shot you’ve waited your whole life for.
Few places offer the combination of species, habitat, and sight-fishing opportunities found in the Lower Keys. Here, fly fishing is all about:
The visual aspect is what makes this fishery so addictive. You’re not blind casting — you’re hunting.
Depending on the season, you may fly fish for:
The Silver King. Explosive eats, massive runs, and unforgettable moments. Prime from March through July.
The Holy Grail. Technical, picky, and incredibly rewarding. Strongest windows spring and late summer/fall.
The Grey Ghost. Fast, spooky, and found on sand and grass flats. Great year-round.
Other opportunities include barracuda, jacks, sharks, and the occasional snook — all incredible fun on fly.
The Lower Keys offer miles of clear, shallow water ideal for fly fishing. Depending on tides and weather, we may fish:
