Crystal River Fishing Outfitters has the perfect fly fishing trip waiting for you along the breathtaking waters of the Nature Coast (Crystal River to Homosassa). With Captain Sean as your guide, you’ll have a seasoned expert at the helm, ensuring a memorable experience. Come along to explore the back waters of the Nature Coast and search for that memorable catch!
Whether you're after Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Tarpon, or other species, the conditions will guide your adventure. Depending on the species you're targeting, you'll enjoy light tackle fishing or get the chance to try some specialized fly fishing techniques.
Captain Sean is well-versed in fly fishing and offers trips specifically tailored for fly anglers. Capt. Sean has all the equipment needed, utilizing high-quality rods and reels from Douglas Outdoors rods to Seigler reels (fly) or Florida Fishing Products (spin).
It is preferred to catch-and-release, but if the client would like to keep some fish, cleaning is provided.
Captain Sean operates an 18' Hells Bay Marquesa, ideal for two passengers, fully equipped with everything you need for a successful day on the water.
No fishing license is required—just bring your enthusiasm for the sport! Bottled water will be provided, but you are free to bring your own drinks or snacks. Make sure to bring sunscreen (non-spray), polarized sunglasses, and a hat. Long-sleeved shirts and pants are recommended to help stay out of the sun.
