The fishing in The Everglades has been really good lately.  The Snook and Tarpon are chewing, that’s for sure.  Not letting the crazy wind we have been having for the last month and a half get in your head and realizing that these fish still need to eat is probably one of the toughest aspects of my job.  

The wind can actually help sometimes.  Hopefully,  this Springtime blow will ease off a little bit and open the door for some prolific days here in The Glades.  The fishing for Snook and Tarpon should only heat up.

As these winds decrease and the water in the Park gets a chance to clean up the fishing is going to get better and better.

If you have never fished in The Everglades National Park don’t let the opportunity slip by.  If you are an Avid Fly Angler or a Hardcore Spin/Plug Angler,  The Park is definitely a “bucket list” destination.  Be it the Backcountry or the nearshore Gulf waters.  I always relate The Everglades as my warm Alaska.  If you have never fished in Alaska,  once you do, you will want to go back every year!  This definitely stands true for The Everglades National Park.

As always, thanks for checking out my Fishing Report and or my Website!

Wind, wind go away,  come back another day!  

This has been our mantra for over a month and a half.  Only a few brief reprieves from the wind have happened recently.  With that being said, you have to learn how to adapt and overcome.  This time of year you can have spectacular fishing in the Everglades National Park,  but you definitely need to know the area and realize how the wind for that particular day is going to play a role in the way you approach the areas that you fish.  

The Snook and Tarpon are definitely chewing.

I recently had the pleasure of fishing with Matt and Taylor, a young couple from up north.  Great company and pretty darn good fishing for a 3/4 day out in the Everglades!  A first for Tarpon is always a winner!!


Chokoloskee and Everglades City is definitely the place to be this time of year,  that’s for sure!  As the Tarpon show up in force and the Snook fatten up for their spawn it could possibly be one of our best seasons yet!

Please remember to frequent your local Fly Shop!  These brick and mortar businesses are what helped define what Fly Fishing is today!!
