If you want to get your blood flowing, and excitement going at its highest level, then come Tarpon fishing with The Uptown Angler. If you would enjoy watching a 100+ pound fish swim in shallow water, track your fly, eat it, then try to take every yard of fly line and backing off your fly reel, we are the guide service for you!

Beginning as early as May and staying steady all the way through the first few weeks of August, tarpon migrate up Florida’s coast and we will be there to get in their path.

We take (fly fishing only) trips from May to August in the best-known fisheries the state of Florida has to offer. We sight fish for migrating tarpon on the beaches, as well as search for these monsters laid up and rolling in the pristine back countries of the west coast of Florida. From the middle of May through the beginning of August, we travel up the coast of Florida with these prehistoric fish in search of them in virtually untapped waters around the infamous Location X.

These areas have some of the best fly fishing opportunities for tarpon in the entire world. Fishing in gin clear water anywhere from 2-4 ft in depth, these monster POONS migrate through the area and crush flies on a regular basis. Let us get you hooked on the best saltwater game fish Florida has to offer.
