Tarpon fishing with a fly rod offers an exhilarating experience for anglers seeking the thrill of battling one of the ocean's most acrobatic fish. These magnificent creatures, known for their impressive jumps and powerful runs provide an unforgettable challenge. Utilizing specialized fly patterns, anglers can target tarpon, among other game fish, in the back country shallows of Charlotte harbor. The combination of skill, patience, and a bit of luck makes every tarpon encounter a memorable adventure on the water.


The allure of hunting for furtive Snook hiding within the mangrove roots is truly addictive. These cunning predators lie in wait, perfectly camouflaged, ready to ambush any unsuspecting prey that ventures too close (such as your fly). The anticipation of spotting signs they're near adds intensity to the pursuit with each cast a test of skill and diligence. Come and immerse yourself in the serenity of the mangroves, where any moment can lead to hilarious mayhem.
