Fly Fishing in Florida with Hawg Hunter Guide Service

Want to go fly fishing while you’re in Florida? Hawg Hunter makes it easy and unforgettable. Our professional guide services offer Everglades fly fishing trips tailored to your goals — whether you’re targeting trophy bass, exotic Peacock bass, or a variety of native species in Florida’s freshwater lakes and canal systems.

Bringing your own gear is encouraged! We recommend packing a 5 or 6 weight fly rod for freshwater action, depending on your target species. If you’re someone who enjoys tying your own flies, definitely bring your favorites along — or give us a call before your trip, and we’ll gladly recommend specific fly patterns that work best for the Everglades and Peacock bass.

Quality gear matters. In the Everglades, there’s no room for subpar equipment. Fast-action rods, sharp hooks, and high-quality reels and lines are essential for success. And don’t forget your polarized sunglasses — spotting fish in these clear, shallow waters is key to the thrill.

The Excitement of Peacock Bass Fly Fishing

Few experiences match the explosive power of a Peacock bass crushing a fly on the surface. These colorful, hard-fighting fish will challenge both your skills and your equipment. Watching a Peacock bass explode on a popper or streamer, ripping line across the water, leaping into the air, and peeling drag is a sight — and a feeling — you have to experience to believe.

In the urban canals, secluded lakes, and lagoons around Miami, Peacock bass fly fishing has become one of the most exciting and popular adventures in Florida. Target feisty Butterfly Peacock bass that can weigh up to 10 pounds, each strike offering the potential for a new personal best — or even a world record.

Many anglers who dream of a “once-in-a-lifetime” trip to the Amazon discover they can experience that same exotic thrill right here in Florida, returning year after year to chase Peacock bass in the beautiful waters of South Florida.

Cooler Weather, Hotter Action

While fly fishing is fantastic year-round, cooler winter months bring some of the hottest action in the Everglades and on Lake Okeechobee. The Everglades, just an hour from Miami and an hour from Naples, offers an endless array of fly fishing targets in one of Florida’s most stunning natural settings.

From largemouth bass to Oscars, Mayan cichlids, bluegill, and more, fly fishing the deep backcountry of the Everglades delivers unmatched variety and adventure. You can even schedule multi-day fly fishing trips across different parts of the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee to make the most of your Florida fishing getaway.
