Located in the heart of the state, we are fortunate to have access to incredible fisheries on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Whether you are visiting Orlando on business or vacation, traveling to the space coast or like many of my clients, simply seeking a day of fishing, I look forward to spending the day on the water with you.

Target Species

Redfish

A fish created for sight fishing.  Redfish live in extremely shallow water and there’s nothing like watching one chase down a crab pattern and flare their gills as you come tight. 

Tarpon

Tarpon are the pinnacle of saltwater fly fishing. Unlike other species, the size and agility make the angler master every detail of tarpon fishing to be successful. Line management, the cast, the strip, the set, the clearing of the line, and each phase of the fight.

Snook

Whether sight fishing for Snook underneath the dock lights or casting a fly at a laid-up Snook in the shallows, the best thing is their aggressive nature.  Anglers from up north often compare their ferocious eats to that of smallmouth bass. 

Trout

Catching a large Sea Trout on a fly is not a feat that is easy to accomplish.  They often lay so still over green grass that they are hard to see until they spook, but getting one to eat will be an experience you won’t forget.

FISHING WITH TANNER

Tanner has been fly fishing for 20 years and has been fortunate to have established relationships with some of the best anglers and guides.  Tanner welcomes all experience levels of anglers and enjoys watching someone go from a novice to a skilled fly angler when their hard work pays off.  

Mosquito Lagoon/Indian River Lagoon

Mosquito Lagoon is located 45-60 minutes from Orlando. It is very unique because it is the only place in the world where Redfish breed inside a landlocked estuary. Being a self-sustained population of Redfish, we practice catch and release inside of Mosquito Lagoon. 

South Florida

South Florida is a great place to fly fish for Tarpon with excellent opportunities for both laid-up and migratory fish. From March to July, Tarpon make their annual migration to the Florida Keys and up the Florida Coast. From the Everglades to the Marquesas, there is a wide variety of habitat that Tarpon thrive in.
