Background
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.
Techniques
I am a fly fishing obsessed! I love working with fly fishers of all skill levels. Spin fishers are always welcome and many of my clients like trying both throughout the day.
