Fort Myers is home to the waters of Pine island sound, Matlacha, and Estero Bay. The nutrient rich waters provide great sight fishing opportunities in clear water over lush turtle grass and mangrove shorelines.

Just a short drive from Naples is Everglades National Park. The vast maze of mangrove island, creeks, and bays make it a great habitat that is ideal for fly fishing and plug fishing for Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish. While the water tends to be murkey and dark compared to the clear water just north of Naples, the fish are typically less pressured and willing to eat a fly.
