and
Ten Thousand
Islands
with
*Captain Bill
Blanton
Join me on an
Everglades fly-fishing adventure. From our jumping-off point in
Chokoloskee on Florida's Beautiful southwest coast, we'll prowl the
shallow Gulf-side flats that border the western Everglades and Ten
Thousand Islands or plunge deep into the heart of the Everglades
back-country in search of the Big Three of the flats: snook, redfish
and tarpon.
Wherever we go,
we'll be poling in shallow water - sometimes with only inches to spare
between the hull of the boat and the bottom - looking for the predator
fish that roam the same flats. Sight-fishing like this is exciting and
demanding, requiring stealth, teamwork between angler and guide,
careful presentation of fly or lure, and once you hook up, the ability
to fight and subdue a powerful adversary.
We'll be fishing out
of a high-tech Maverick HPX-T flats skiff. I supply G. Loomis
rods and Tibor reels along with all necessary licenses, flies,
leaders... plus the patience to help you master this challenging form
of angling.
Half-day, full-day
and evening trips are offered.
Chokoloskee is
within easy driving distance of Naples, Bonita Springs and Fort Myers.
It's ideally located at the western entrance to the Everglades
National Park.
