Saltwater fly fishing is exciting and addictive and can take you to some of the most exotic destination on the planet. But it can also be demanding, and a windy saltwater flat with tailing bonefish is no place to work on your casting.

“Thanks for the lesson. It was so beneficial, you won’t believe it. It would have been a nightmare without it! The trip was a runaway success. I managed a ‘super grand slam’ on day 2 and over the week I had about 120 bonefish, 1 tarpon, 1 permit, about 30 jacks, 3 snook & a nice barracuda. Probably the best weeks fishing I’ll ever have - amazing.”
