Flats Nation — Flats Fishing, Gear & Coastal Living

This versatile fly was inspired and tested in the chocolate milk waters of Everglades National Park

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

I am Fly Shop Junkie and I visit, and have visited them, from Coast to Coast / North to South when traveling.

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

Better known in the Instagram World as the "The Miami Fly Guy," is just one heck of a Bug Slinger and an even better Fly Tyer!

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

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!

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!

Our friends at Bajio Sunglasses took "Best of Category — Eyewear" at ICAST 2022

Are you in need of new Sunglasses with all the latest technology for Flats Fishing?

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.

Rare is it that in the quickly advancing technology space, one finds a near-perfect device!

We can't forget about our friend (Brother) Travis Sands, The Flats Phantom, whom I call the Permit Guru of the Bahamas!
