Flats Boats and Professional Guides, the Perfect Florida Bay Combination!
Fly Fishing the Bay!"Flats boats are your best friends in the back-country!"
Unless you are an accomplished boatman and are proficient at navigation, utilizing the skills of a licensed guide will be your best option. The Florida Bay is "One Big Puddle" and requires some knowledge and experience to handle it safely (both for you and the marine and mammal environment). There is a lot to think about out there! 
Work with the pros for awhile until you feel comfortable. Then, venture out on your own. The fragile marine environment will thank you for it! While fishing the Florida back-country, you will have an opportunity to catch a variety of sport fish including red fish, snook, bone fish, tarpon, permit, and a batch of others. Chances are you will have a shot at a shark or two also! If you love to fly fish, you are going to love it here! 
I suggest you contact Capt. Barry Hoffman. He has been guiding the Florida Keys back-country for over 20 years and brings a ton of experience and knowledge to the table. He is also an excellent instructor with unlimited patience. We gladly recommend Barry to beginners as well as experts alike! Speak with any accomplished fly fisherman", and you will probably find out it's the only way he goes, it's what he's about. Fly rods, flats boats, tailing bonefish, crazy charlies, more flats boats, more tailing bonefish, more crazy charlies, it's all he dreams about!
If you have stalked the flats, you know what I mean, and if you haven't, try it. You'll be having the same dreams!
