The Islamorada Fishing Report
Guided Fly Fishing and Light Tackle
Fly Fishing and Light Tackle Florida Keys
Fly fishing and light tackle in and around the Florida Keys this past week was interesting. There were storms, wind, permit, and tarpon. Conditions this 2021 season have not made things easy and this week was no different. Seems when the wind isn’t blowing the clouds are rolling in making sight fishing difficult. We were able to bend rods and put some nice fish in the boat and put some tarpon in the air!
We have been catching fish on crabs, mullet, soft plastics and outgoing tides. Early bird gets the tarpon bite! Permit have been chowing crabs around structure, just be sure to get em out of there if you do hook one, they tend to know how to pop that hook off.
Tarpon Fishing in Islamorada, Florida Keys
Fly Fishing and light tackle Everglades
The snook fishing in the Everglades has been awesome these past few weeks. If you can find a bank or shoreline where there is one or two fish, keep poking around, there could be a big school just lurking. I have been putting my guys on big numbers of snook daily on out going tides and were having a ton of fun out there. Baitfish have been working best, however they have been eating darker flies as well. There are a few tarpon to be found out there too if you look for them. Redfish have been cruising the flats eating gulp shrimps, look for muds!
