Chokoloskee & Everglades National Park Fishing Report

Fall has arrived in the pristine waters of Everglades National Park, bringing with it some of the year's most exceptional fishing opportunities! The cooling temperatures have energized our fishery, with snook staging in impressive numbers throughout the backcountry waters. Whether you're casting flies or working artificial lures, the fall fishing action in our coastal waters and mangrove-lined backcountry is reaching its peak.

The moderate autumn weather creates perfect conditions for both seasoned anglers and newcomers. Our target species are particularly active, with snook and juvenile tarpon providing heart-pounding strikes and acrobatic displays. The reliable sea trout continue to deliver steady action, making them perfect for families and anglers looking to bend a rod consistently. For those seeking their next trophy catch, redfish are prowling the shallow flats and oyster bars.
Adding to the experience, our seasonal visitors have begun arriving – not just the anglers, but also the diverse migratory birds that make the Everglades their winter home. This natural spectacle adds another layer to your fishing adventure, creating those memorable "only in the Everglades" moments.

For anyone who hasn't experienced the world-class fishing in America's largest subtropical wilderness, fall is the perfect time to check this destination off your bucket list. The Everglades' unique combination of productive waters, stunning scenery, and abundant wildlife creates an unparalleled fishing experience that every angler should enjoy at least once.
