Welcome to First Coast Complete Fly Fishing

As a fly fishing kayak angler in Northeast Florida, my passion for this sport has driven me to create this website to share my saltwater adventures and photos.

This includes kayak fishing the Timucuan preserve, Guana, Tolomato, and Matanzas estuaries located in northeast Florida’s Nassau, Duval and St. John’s counties.

I specialize in sight fishing for Redfish on the mud flats and creeks during low tide and summer-fall flooded grass flats moon tides. I enjoy teaching complete saltwater fly fishing with turn key service including fly casting lessons, fly tying instruction, guided nature tours with fishing opportunities for Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Bluefish, Jack Crevelle, Ladyfish and more. Plus I will photograph your trip. I will also provide you with photos of your experience at no extra cost. Programs are also available including PowerPoint presentations.

Over the past 4 years I have fly fished and explored these Jacksonville based home waters with over 200 trips including well over 1000 hours on the water.

Kayak fishing has given me a special connection with nature and offered me the best opportunities to catch fish and explore our back-country tidal creeks, marshlands and flooded grass flats, often in complete solitude. There is a wide variety of wildlife waiting for you to see.

I take great pleasure and pride in photographing it all. “My Photos” page will tour you through the beauty of what’s there for you to see and give you a good taste of my back-country adventures.

If you are visiting the areas of Amelia Island, Talbot Islands, Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Vilano Beach and St. Augustine…come see, learn, and join me for your kayak back to nature and fly and light tackle fishing opportunities in our pristine waterways and wilderness at affordable prices.

My trips are only available on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and week day late afternoons depending on season. Tide and weather are also dependent. Please contact me for details and thank you for your interest!

It’s also geared to help educate our distant visitors with fly and light tackle saltwater fishing techniques and fishing-nature tours.
