    Tarpon Flyfishing

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    Chris is an excellent, no pressure guide. His calm demeanor, and effort to put you on fish, makes the intense act of trying to catch giant tarpon on a fly very enjoyable while also setting you up for success. Chris believes in the idea that the guide is there to help you be a better fisherman and we certainly found that to be true.

What's biting with Captain Chris Barron in Islamorada

The fall is the best time of year to fish the flats in Islamorada, and you'll see this in September. With fewer crowds, lots of Bonefish and Permit on the flats, and Snook in the mangroves, you're in for a treat.
