Fly Fishing Resources - Recommended Guides

Florida has a worldwide reputation as a top fly fishing destination. There is good reason for this. The Orlando Florida area offers fly fishing in waters such as the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River, Tomoka Basin, the St. John's River and others. Orlando fly fishing is truly world class. It is definitely possible to catch fish on your own without a boat, but the right guide can make your experience much more enjoyable and productive.

We do not offer a guide service through our shop but instead choose to recommend some excellent fly fishing guides whom we know and trust. These are the same guides we use for our families and friends and are the ones we choose to represent us on the water when industry representatives come into town and want to go catch some fish. They are licensed professionals who spend a good portion of their lives on the water, are friendly, courteous, easy to get along with, and will help you to have a wonderful fly fishing experience. If you haven't spent much time fishing with guides and aren't quite sure what to expect take a look at our Fishing with a Guide page.
