Grew up fishing lakes in Central Florida then moved to the coast after college and never looked back! I love exploring our coast line and finding the secrets that it holds.

    What a great experience

    3/4 Day Trip – Fly Fishing1 adult

    This was my 1st fly guide experience and I cannot speak highly enough about it. I have done plenty of spin fish guides over the years, and I can say Captain Sean is as good as they come. Even with weather that did not cooperate, Sean put me on more fish than I see on 10 trips of my own. He taught me more things than I could ever imagine and is an absolute blast on the boat. I am already looking at dates to get back out there with him. If you want to see the historic Crystal River/Homossasa fishery, Captain Sean needs to be your first call

    Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing

    I keep fishing with Sean because he's thoroughly pleasant while consistently getting us into fish. He knows the water, has good vision, and knows how to position the boat so a flyfisherman can make a good cast. Sean is extremely competent yet still humble. Always a pleasure to be around. Im looking forward to my next trip with Sean.

What's biting with Crystal River Fishing Outfitters | Fly in Crystal River

This is your last chance to get your hands on some delicious bay Scallops in the river. Inshore, the Tarpon may be gone, but you can still hook into Redfish, Spotted Trout, and Snook.
