My grandson and I went on the dock light trip with captain Nate and it was an excellent experience. I had only fly fished a few times but Nate worked with me and I had a lot of fun catching snook. My grandson had never fly fished before and caught multiple impressive which was amazing for his first time ever! Now he wants to start fly fishing back home. Captain Nate provided a great experience and is a great instructor for beginners.
Had an incredible time on our fishing trip with Nate. Super laid-back vibe and he clearly knows the water and how to find fish. We were into action pretty quick - caught trout, grouper, jacks, ladyfish, a flounder, and a few snook. He had great gear, gave solid pointers, and kept things fun the whole time. Really appreciated how easygoing and patient he was. If you’re looking for a fishing trip around Sarasota, this is the one.
We spent a week in Sarasota with our teenage son and this was the highlight of our vacation. We did not have much success fishing on our own from shore and wanted to have a good day on the water before we left. Captain Nate was able to fit us in last minute and we are so glad it worked out. Our son caught dozens of trout and a few other species and now can't wait to come back down for another trip. 10/10 would recommend.
Spent a great morning with capt. Nate at Fly Fishing Sarasota. I felt like I was constantly reeling something in. It was a ton of fun catching a variety species including trout, mackerel, jack and ladyfish and you never knew what you would reel in next. He's a very nice guy and made the experience very fun. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
My son and I went out with Captain Nate and he did not disappoint. We wanted to catch some saltwater fish on fly and did much better than I expected. He had us on fish the entire day. We caught dozens of trout with some other species mixed in and landed some really nice ones. I would definitely recommend Captain Nate for a great day on the water.

Your captain
Hey, I'm Captain Nate - owner and guide at Fly Fish Sarasota. I am one of the areas only guides with a service dedicated to and built around fly fishing. I do have plenty of clients using spinning gear as well and some want to try both throughout the day. Fly fishing wasn't invented for saltwater but for me, that's what makes it so much fun. Make no mistake, correctly presenting flies can be an extremely effective way to chase our local gamefish but I love the challenge of it. Stripping back a hand tied fly, feeling the jolt of the line being ripped from your hands and coming tight to a heavy fish is truly an addiction for me. As much as I love catching fish, I've learned that I love guiding clients to get hooked on that feeling even more. Whether it's guiding you to a first fish on fly, a new species or a personal best, that's what I love most about what I do.
