On the Atlantic side of Key Largo, I’ve been finding solid numbers of tarpon, bonefish, and barracuda — a true dream lineup for anglers looking to experience classic Florida Keys backcountry fishing. Both the incoming and falling tides are creating ideal opportunities for sight fishing with fly or light tackle, making this an outstanding time for those interested in Islamorada fly fishing charters or technical flats fishing.
A brand-new angler to the Florida Keys, Marisol, was able to land her first two tarpon ever! Watching someone experience their first tarpon eat on a well-presented fly is exactly why so many anglers travel here to fish with professional fly fishing guides in Islamorada and throughout the Upper Keys.
Over on the Florida Bay side of Key Largo, inside Everglades National Park, we’re seeing steady sight fishing action for redfish and snook. The shallow water clarity has been great for anglers booking Florida Keys fly fishing charters and Islamorada backcountry fishing charters, especially those wanting technical shots at cruising redfish in skinny water.
If you’re considering booking a fishing charter in Islamorada or anywhere in the Upper Florida Keys, now is an excellent time to target tarpon, bonefish, redfish, and snook on the flats.
