Everglades Fly Fishing Guides
Fly Fish The Everglades For Tarpon, Snook, And Redfish
Southwest Florida has been known to anglers for hundreds of years as a premiere saltwater fishing destination. As fly fishing has increased in popularity many fly anglers have come to realize that SW Florida is one of the best places in the world to fly fish year-round for tarpon, snook, and redfish.
Capt. Evan Noponen fishes three distinct areas of Southwest Florida; Naples, Marco Island/10,000 Islands, and the Everglades National Park. Each area is unique in it’s own way and provide great fly fishing experiences at different times of the year for anglers of all abilities.
The “Big-3” Fish Of The Everglades
Tarpon
Tarpon are considered by many the ultimate flyrod gamefish. Their size, willingness to eat flies, and acrobatics when hooked combine to make them the fish of most fly fishermen and women’s dreams.
Snook
Snook don’t get the attention in the fly fishing world that they deserve. Maybe that is a good thing. Anglers in the know understand the appeal of the snook, especially a big Everglades snook.
Redfish
Redfish are one of the least hyped species of fish in the saltwater fly fishing game. They aren’t put on a pedestal like a permit, but deserve as much respect as any saltwater gamefish.
