Key West is a fantastic destination
for fly fishermen. Fly Fishing is so easy here Novice or expert, Key West has the
fishery to entertain both. My approach to fly fishing
here at Dream Catcher Charters is to show you the day
your way. I have learned through my years of guiding
that fly fishing is different for everyone. I adapt to
what you are looking for in a fly fishing guide and make
your day happen.
- Capt. Steven Wading The Flats Of
The Lower Keys..
 I
can and will guide you fly fishing here in Key West for
everything. There is not a species of fish that will eat
a bait lure or jig that will not eat a fly. If you want
to catch it on the fly rod I will make it happen for you.
For the flats grand Slam Saltwater
fly fishing is very different from the lakes or streams
up north. In order to catch one of the big three on the
flats here in Key West (tarpon, Permit, bonefish) you
will need a very strong double haul cast with fewer than
three false casts and a consistent fly presentation with
a straight line and properly place fly. This sometimes
comes as a huge surprise to some of my experienced
stream fishermen when the wind is blowing 10 mph and
they are unable to give a decent 40 - 60 ft cast without
the fly hitting the water in the forward or back cast.
Offshore fly fishing is a great
accessory to add to any offshore fishing adventure.
Myself and some other fly fishing guides here in Key
West offer you the gear and the shots to catch any
number of fish offshore including: Yellowtail Snappers,
Blackfin Tuna, Huge Barracudas, Amber Jack, Yellowfin
Bar Jacks, Blue Fish, Dolphin, Sailfish and Wahoo
depending on what is available for the day you have
booked. I fish offshore in my 32 Center Console
Yellowfin.
For Having fun catching fish on the
fly here in Key West, you don't have to be a Stu or a
Flip to live the dream. We can target the species that
are in your reach and with some lessons and patience we
can get you to catch any number of fish including
Barracudas, Sharks, Jacks, Blue Runner, Lady Fish,
Pompano, Trout, Yellowtail snappers, Mutton snappers,
Cobia and more.
Here at Dream Catcher Charters we can have the newest
novice catching fish in the first day.
Experiences anglers are invited to
spend the day with me and enjoy fly fishing the Florida
Keys and Key West The Dream Catcher Way. Tell me what
species you wish to target and I will put together a
trip you wont soon forget. A trip full of fun, Shots and
fish and great times. The way fly fishing should be.
Either bring your own or use my gear.
I will have you set up with your preferred retrieving
hand and all new conditioned line. I have rods in weight
from 5-13 for anything we will encounter. Rods made by
G-Loomis, Sage and Orvis. I will also provide expertly
personally tied leaders. The flies I use are some of my
own patterns but mostly Good ol backups that have worked
for years and plenty of them. You will find my gear and
fly selection will make most fly shops blush.
finding fish here in Key West is the
easy part. Bring your game to catch them. Plan on a
great day.
Windy days do not mean we cancel your
charter because you are unable to fly fish that day. We
find alternate means of tackle to entertain you for the
day of fishing or I will help you learn how to cast in a
gale. Now if it is blowing 25 or more we
probably won't go at all.
Fly fishing is supposed to be fun. If fly
fishing gets you aggravated let me know and I will share
with you the phone numbers of many talented fly fishing
guides that enjoy fishing with grumpy fly fishermen.
Personally I am not into it. I like for my  clients to
enjoy the day and leave the stress at the dock.
