Fly fishing charters in Mosquito Lagoon, Jupiter, and Flamingo for anglers of all abilities with full-time Florida guide Capt. Ryan McFarland.
Capt. Ryan McFarland is a full-time Florida fly fishing guide focused on putting anglers in position to target snook, tarpon, and redfish across three of the most unique fisheries in the state. From the shallow flats of Mosquito Lagoon to the the mixed inshore fishery around Jupiter, to the backcountry of the Everglades, each location offers a completely different environment to experience and pursue these fish.
Capt. Ryan has spent decades on the water and brings a straightforward approach to guiding: work hard, keep things fun, and create as many real opportunities as possible throughout the day. Whether it’s your first time on the bow or you’ve spent years mastering the art of fly fishing, his focus is on helping anglers make the most of their time on the water in a diverse array of fisheries.
Mosquito Lagoon
The Mosquito Lagoon is a shallow, clear-water estuary along Florida’s east coast known for its strong redfish population and consistent sight fishing opportunities. Large grass flats, potholes, and protected water create a fishery where anglers can spend the day poling and targeting fish in shallow water. It is a moderately technical fly fishery that produces enough opportunities for anglers of all abilities to find success in a location that is close to Central Florida’s attractions.
Jupiter
Jupiter offers a mix of backcountry water, inshore structure, and nearby beach access that creates a wide range of opportunities for anglers fishing the area. Mangrove shorelines and current driven structure hold snook year-round, while seasonal tarpon and other species move through the area along the beaches and inlets. It is a practical fishery for anglers already in the area who want to spend time on the water and target quality fish on the fly.
Flamingo
Flamingo provides access to the southern Everglades, where mangrove shorelines, backcountry water, and the open flats of Florida Bay all come together. This is a large, interconnected fishery where anglers spend the day poling and hunting fish in shallow water. It is a technical but forgiving system that offers anglers of all abilities consistent opportunities to target snook, redfish, and tarpon throughout the year.
