Biscayne Bay is known for its Monster Bonefish. Here in South Florida, our bonefish average 8 pounds and have been caught up to 15 pounds! They are known for their ghost like habits and long drag screaming runs. To learn more about Bonefish click here. Biscayne Bay is also a great place to find Permit, Tarpon and the occasional Redfish and Snook. But Captain Rich generally likes to fish for Bonefish and Permit in the bay.

Fly Fishing in Biscayne Bay is good all year long. However the months of March-June are by far the best and busiest times of year for South Florida's Fishing guides. But don't forget about the months of Sept-December. These months in the bay can be exceptionally great for schooled up bonefish.

One of the greatest fishing destinations in the world is Everglades National Park. It offers species such as Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Trout, Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Cobia, Snapper, just to name a few! This area is awesome all year long and is one of the most unique and beautiful places to experience. It is so large that fishing guides can fish the Everglades their whole lives and still never fish the entire area. Often we will have days on the water where we will not see another boat all day long. It is a fly anglers playground filled with endless things to catch. You could spend half the morning chasing monster Tarpon in the open gulf and spend the rest of the day in the deep backcountry tossing flies to Snook and Redfish till your arm gets tired.

Islamorada is known for being Florida's Sport Fishing Capital. Captain Rich Smith has grown up fishing for bonefish and permit in the backcountry flats of the Florida Keys. Here you can expect to see crystal clear water while poling across endless sandy flats. This area is good all year long for bonefish and permit on fly but especially the months of April-June. Standard fly gear consists of 8 weight rods for bonefish and 9 or 10 weights for permit. But be ready because these fish are not your average fighting fish. Most Bonefish scream off about 75-100 yards of line before they ever think about slowing down.
