Captain
Richard Hastings

Member since August 2019 Islamorada, United States
Background
A New Hampshire native originally, Captain Richard spent years fishing the Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers, even guiding there from 2014 to 2017. He moved down to Florida in 2015 and spent so much time on the productive inshore waters of the Everglades, that he decided to start his own business. A specialist in sight fishing, he loves teaching newcomers the tricks of the trade, and loves nothing more than seeing customers reel in the fish they've always dreamed of.
Techniques
Fly fishing. Light tackle spin. Catch and release
