Flies
Like most destination fly shops, we do a brisk business fly business. Given the great variety of target species in The Keys and the complexities of our fisheries, we have taken it a step further than your standard mass produced fly selection. We are constantly looking for new flies and twists on old favorites to…
Read MoreFly lines
We carry fly lines from Scientific Anglers, Rio and Airflo. The number of options is great and varied, and too many to describe each in detail. That said, we can easily answer your questions about what line would be best for you if you give us a call or send us an email.

Given that we’re a fly shop in the middle of the most vibrant fishery on the planet, it’s no surprise that we carry a ton of fly rods. We stock Hardy, Sage, G Loomis, Echo, Clutch, Winston and Scott, and are always looking for new and interesting fly rods from both our existing vendors as…

Another south Florida native, Nautilus has put together two of the most reliable drag materials together in their reels: cork and carbon fiber. They are the lightest large reels we’ve seen, and as such a lot of people are falling in love with them. We stock the NV series, and have found it to be…
Read MoreTibor
Tibor produces reels here in south Florida, and they have caught everything from trout on 8x to giant billfish on 20# tippet. We carry both the Signature Series and the standard Tibor reels, and usually have a large inventory on hand. If you want a special color or engraving, we are easily able to provide…
