  • Welcome to Floridakeysflyfish.com

    My name is Geoff Colmes and thanks for visiting my website! I hope you’ll find the info I have provided helpful in planning your next fishing trip to the Florida Keys and Everglades.

    You will find an assortment of articles on my site such as intuitive and comprehensive information on the destinations we fish, fishing methods and target species.

  • Capt. Geoff. Colmes

    Geoff specializes in fly-fishing for tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, redfish, largemouth and peacock bass. Although he promotes fly-fishing and is his first fishing method of choice, he would be the first to tell you not to "marry" the fly rod.

    "Remarkably, the more experienced angler will quickly switch back to spin or plug tackle when the conditions or logistics are not favorable for fly-fishing."

  • Fishing Should Be Fun!

    Opinions will vary amongst most fishing guides. Your guides knowledge, experience and willingness to travel and fish different areas will lead to greater success on all target species throughout our fishery.

    I believe that fishing should be fun regardless of the method you choose. In my opinion, you and your your fishing guides willingness to do whatever it takes to make the most of the fishing conditions is the key to success.

Geoff Colmes with Paul Timmrick and snookOperating out of the Village of Islamorada in the Florida Keys, we guide our anglers just about anywhere in South Florida; fishing from Biscayne Bay to Key West, Marquesas and the Everglades National Park.

We're a small group of three dedicated full time fishing guides; Captains whose focus is on "sight fishing" and "poling" the flats and backcountry of the Florida Keys, Marquesas and Everglades for tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook and redfish.

If you are interested in having a great time fishing with guides that are "mobile," veteran, full time and capable of guiding you to fish just about anywhere in the Keys, Everglades and South Florida, then you have come to the right place... but don't just take our word on this; read what our customers have said in our references section or browse our FloridaKeysFlyFish.com community forum.

Chico FernandezThank-you Geoff...
It is my good fortune to fly fish around the world for a living, including my own fly fishing trips to the Florida Keys and Everglades; so I get to see some great fishing locations. And yet, fishing the Florida Everglades with Geoff is one of the highlight trips of the year. Year after year.

Geoff's vast knowledge and enthusiasm for the area is unsurpassed. Easy going and good humor are also part of the days fishing. And his poling approach to sighted fish, always makes my casting as easy as it can be under the challenging circumstances. My son Stephen and I, have taken many double figure snook with Geoff.

And then when he takes you in the back country, way back where only and handful can go, at best, it is like seeing the glades as it must have been hundreds of years ago. A labyrinth of red mangroves, tunnels, saw grass buttonwoods, creeks, lakes and bays, mixed with snook, redfish, tarpon, largemouth bass and bull sharks. It is one of my favorite places to fly fish in the world.

Till next fishing trip, su amigo,
Chico Fernandez
