Flats Nation — Flats Fishing, Gear & Coastal Living

We had a great time learning about Flats Fishing in New Jersey

A year-long study by Florida International University (FIU) and Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT) has discovered pharmaceutical contaminants in the blood and other tissues of redfish in Florida waters.

We have been working on variants of our Flag designs for our Fans and Supporters in other countries where Flats Fishing is well known.

Happy to introduce, Captain Jason Moore, who is going to help us cover the Mid Atlantic States Flats and Fly Fishing scene

We here on Flats Nation applaud these awesome efforts to help heal one of the once, and soon again, great fisheries here in Florida!

Recently though, due to the ravages of Hurricane Ian and while staying nearby, we had the time to stop in and enjoy a date night

Dr. Ross Boucek is the Florida Keys Initiative Manager with BTT (Bonefish and Tarpon Trust) based in Miami, Florida.

as advised, it is not any formal training or classroom type of instruction (more social), but I am pretty sure you will pick up some Tips and Tricks simply by watching and asking questions!

I had the pleasure of stopping in and visiting the new Seven Mile Fly Shop in Marathon, Florida.

Flats Nation was invited for a media-level tour of the Mote Marine International Center for Coral Reef Research & Restoration in Summerland Key the other day, and it was just awesome!

I had the pleasure (again) while working early on a Sunday Morning to chat with my fellow brother-in-arms, Captain Mike Anderson, as we discussed some Conservation Efforts.

I am pleased to add this section of Flats Nation, my friend, Captain Tommy Derringer.
