Biscayne Bay offers some of the most diverse and productive shallow water fishing in the world.

Often considered the most challenging fish in shallow water fly fishing, permit are the crown jewel of many anglers' bucket lists. These disc-shaped fighters are notoriously selective and spooky, requiring precise presentations and perfect fly selection. Captain Long's success rate with permit is exceptional, thanks to his understanding of their preferred feeding areas and his ability to position anglers for the perfect shot. Biscayne Bay's year-round permit population provides consistent opportunities, with the clear water allowing for exciting sight fishing experiences that test even experienced anglers' skills.

Bonefish are the bread and butter of flats fishing, and Biscayne Bay's population is both abundant and hard-fighting. These "silver ghosts" provide exciting fishing for both beginners and experienced anglers, making them the perfect species for learning flats fishing techniques. Captain Long excels at finding schools of bones feeding in the shallows and coaching anglers through the nuances of bonefish behavior. The bay offers opportunities for both wading and boat fishing, with schools ranging from small "pups" perfect for beginners to trophy-sized fish that challenge the most experienced fly casters.

No fly fishing experience in South Florida is complete without the heart-stopping jumps and powerful runs of tarpon. These prehistoric giants can grow over 100 pounds and provide some of the most exciting fishing available anywhere. Captain Long's tarpon expertise shines during the peak season when these magnificent fish migrate through Biscayne Bay. From juvenile "poons" that are perfect for learning tarpon techniques to massive adults that create lifetime memories, the bay offers tarpon fishing opportunities that are second to none.

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fly angler, Captain Long tailors each trip to your skill level and goals. He's an excellent instructor who can teach proper casting techniques, fly selection, and fish-fighting strategies. His patience and encouragement have helped countless anglers achieve their first permit, bonefish, or tarpon on fly. The personalized attention ensures that every angler, regardless of experience level, has the best possible chance of success.

Spring brings excellent fishing for all three species, with warming waters increasing fish activity. Tarpon begin their migration, and permit become more active on the flats. Summer represents peak tarpon season with incredible opportunities for silver kings, while bonefish and permit fishing remains strong during early morning and late afternoon trips. Fall is often considered the best time for permit and bonefish, with tarpon still present in good numbers as temperatures moderate. Winter's cooler weather concentrates fish in specific areas, often leading to some of the most productive fishing of the year with perfect conditions for sight fishing.
