The Nature Coast is the area from St. Joseph
Sound in Pasco county, up the gulf coast to
Ochlockonee Bay in Wakulla county. Along this
stretch of coastline, crystal clear spring fed rivers
flow into beautiful salt marshes dotted with
mangroves. The coast is also dotted with many
wildlife refuges that hold an abundance of fish and bird
species. The southern parts of this pristine unspoiled coast,
including Tarpon Springs, Chassahowitzka, and Homosassa,
are only about a 40 minute drive from the bustling city of Tampa.
This area is a wonderful place to escape the busy, urban areas and visit old Florida. A shallow draft skiff is needed
to reach much of the area's best fishing. Fly fishing redfish, trout, and the occasional monster snook is the way to
go. Tarpon also Migrate through the waters along the Nature Coast during the spring and summer months. Let us

Tampa Bay has become a fantastic fishery thanks to
extreme conservation measures and fish stocking
programs. There are great opportunities to sight cast for
redfish and tarpon in clear water. Fly fishing Tampa bay is
a great way to experience it. You can pluck away at the
mangroves and small creeks while fly fishing for snook, or
work the grass flats for trout and other species with jigs.
The variety of fish is unbelievable, and ways to catch
them are almost limitless. Tampa Bay has a great fishery
year round. Fly fishing Tarpon happens March - August,
the best time to sight cast and fly fish for redfish, is fall
and winter.

Tampa Bay is the largest open-water estuary in Florida. Fresh water from four main rivers flows into Tampa Bay
creating a rich habitat for a variety of animals. There are over 200 species of fish found in or around the bay.
Amongst those are the popular game fish we love to pursue like redfish, tarpon, snook, sea trout, spanish
mackerel, cobia, mangrove snapper, and grouper to name a few. Your Tampa Bay fly fishing experience is easily
accessed by the cities of Sarasota, Bradenton, St Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach, and Tampa. On your charter
you'll see critters like manatees, dolphins, and sea turtles, as well as a wide variety of bird species such as
