Trip Host:The Avid Angler
The Avid Angler is pleased to announce an adventure for October 2010 - four days of guided flyfishing in the Florida Everglades for snook, redfish, speckled trout, jacks, tarpon, and other species. This is backcountry and coastal flyfishing in the lakes, rivers, creeks, and gulf coast flats of the Everglades National Park. We took three trips in 2008 and the fishing was great with tarpon, snook and redfish hooked along with other species.
The trip is one day of travel each way and four days fishing out of Everglades City on Florida's Gulf Coast. You will fly to Ft. Lauderdale and travel with the group by van from there to Everglades City. Lodging (double occupancy) will be at the beautiful Ivey House Inn (http://www.iveyhouse.com/inn.htm) in Everglades City.
You and another fly fisher will fish from a flats skiff with an experienced Everglades guide. Fishing may be in a backcountry lake, a mangrove creek, a coastal river mouth, or on the coastal flat. You will be using 8wt or 9wt rods for most species, and 10wt or 12 wt equipment for tarpon and other larger fish. Flies will be provided by the guides.
In addition to the great fishing, you will have ample opportunities to view and photograph the beautiful scenery and many forms of wildlife living in Everglades National Park. Each bend in the river or creek typically holds a new surprise and photo op!
