Everglades National Park protects the largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi River. The wilderness area is named for Marjory Stoneman Douglas who was instrumental in creating the park, and who coined the phrase "River of Grass."
The boundaries of Everglades National Park protect only the southern one-fifth of the historic Everglades ecosystem. In its entirety, this massive watershed boasts a multitude of habitats that provide a subtropical refuge to a unique assemblage of wildlife.

Hello, and welcome to my Website. I'd like to invite you to go saltwater fly and spin fishing with me in the Florida Everglades, the world's premier sight fishing destination.
Everglades Fishing Adventures
I've been fishing all my life... And I guess it would be fair to say that fishing is more like a lifestyle than a hobby to me. Well, with Everglades National Park in my backyard I suppose that's not too hard to imagine. And even easier to see why I chose to be an Everglades fly fishing guide.
The warm brackish waters of the Everglades are shallow and clear, flowing across endless mangrove shorelines. It is textbook habitat for game fish like Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish, along with many other species. It almost seems like this ecosystem was custom designed for sight fishing with a fly rod.
It's very hard to describe the feeling that passes over you when you're looking at a 125 pound Tarpon sitting motionless, suspended just under the surface of the water 35 feet away from you. You start your backcast knowing that if that fish eats your fly you are in for the fight of your life. Everglades National Park is a fly and spin fishing paradise.
Because of southwest Florida's tropical climate we are able to fish all year, making Everglades National Park the perfect getaway, regardless of season.
