THE CHARTER EXPERIENCE

Bird Dog Fly Fishing focuses on personalized guided fly fishing and light tackle experiences throughout South Florida’s most dynamic waters. Trips emphasize technical sight fishing, strategic presentations, and in-depth local knowledge, whether you’re casting flies under dock lights, stalking fish on flats, or fishing tidal backcountry edges. Every outing is tailored around tides, weather, and fish behavior to give anglers the best chance at success.

THE FISHING OPERATION

Bird Dog Fly Fishing brings anglers aboard a purpose-built Chittum mangrove skiff, crafted for shallow access, quiet approaches, and stable poling in places other boats can’t reach. All trips include premium rods, reels, lines, and flies, with tackle provided so you can focus on casting and hooking fish without worrying about gear logistics. Whether it’s the stealth needed for poling on skinny water or the right setup for docklight fishing at night, every detail is chosen to enhance your day on the water.
