A Fly Fishing Charter Experience

Fly Fishing Charters in Fort Myers & Sanibel 

Sanibel Island & Fort Myers Fly Fishing

Welcome aboard! I’m Captain Paul Hobby, and for over 35 years I’ve been guiding anglers on unforgettable adventures with Fort Myers fly fishing charters and Sanibel Island fishing trips. Whether you’re a seasoned fly caster or just starting out, I’ll put you on the fish that make Southwest Florida famous.

RATES & INFORMATION

BOAT & GEAR

I run a Maverick HPX skiff designed for skinny-water fly fishing. Its stealth and stability give us access to the backwaters where trophy snook and redfish live. My goal is to make your day on the water safe, productive, and memorable.

🎣 Target Florida’s Most Exciting Gamefish

From the clear shallows of Sanibel to the mangrove edges of Fort Myers, we’ll chase:

  • Tarpon – the legendary “Silver King,” known for spectacular jumps.

  • Snook – aggressive fighters that love to ambush flies in tight cover.

  • Redfish – powerful tailers that thrive on our flats.

  • Sea Trout – a local favorite for light-tackle fly fishing.

Specializing in Fly & Light Tackle Fishing

Although I’m passionate about fly fishing, we routinely use light tackle equipment if you’re not into that. I will happily provide all fly and spinning rods, including flies, lures, and bait, for the light tackle angler. 
I’m happy to provide Scott’s  Sector fly rods (top-of-the-line) and Diawa Saltist spinning reels with G. Loomis rods. 

Personalized Journeys for All Skill Levels

Whether you’re a beginner eager to learn or an experienced angler perfecting your sight casting, my fishing charters are designed to accommodate one to three anglers for half-, three-quarters, or full-day expeditions. Embrace the “have fun” ethos with no pressurejust pure enjoyment. Remember, bring a “fat-free” cupcake, and any fishing blunders will remain as secrets!
