Flats Nation — Flats Fishing, Gear & Coastal Living

We want to Welcome Aboard Flats Nation and are excited to have you join us, Dr. Ashley Dentler,

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

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!

This Flats Nation Podcast is with Captain Justin Bachert out of Big Pine Key, Florida.

Besides, how can you not love a place with the same name as our Skiff?

The inspiration for this fly was to outsmart the smartest and biggest Biscayne Bay Bonefish in my home waters of Miami.

Next time in the Lower Keys, you need to build into your travel plans some time to stop in and visit Nathaniel and the team over at The Angling Company!

It is that time of year again, and have employed this tactic and it works well with a light jig head, so water entry is soft, combined with a super quiet approach...

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

Justin, though, is an great guy and involved in and passionate about various conservation efforts with both CFCW and BTT here in 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!

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!

When not on the Skiff with my SIMRAD with its installed FMT Chip in front of me, my favorite Tides and Preflight planning tool is TidesPro

A very informative video from Simon and Hannah Perkins—cousins who are part of the third generation of the Perkins family to run Orvis—traveled the length of the Everglades watershed

There is some concern about the actual levels of Spotted Sea Trout in SWFL and other areas of Our Great State.

The NE section near the St. Augustine / Palm Coast area. It is filled with Oyster Beds, and Spartina grass filled with crabs and shrimp.

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

We want to welcome to this Flats Nation Podcast Fly Fishing Guide, Captain Honson Lau.
