bonito, barracuda, rockfish, cobia, halibut, jack
crevalle, jewfish, ladyfish, mackerel, pollack,
pompano, shark, snapper, snook, rooster fish,

vessel. Deep water fly fishing is quickly
becoming one of the most popular ways to fish.
Deep water fish sought by fly fishermen are
roughly divided into two categories, roamers
and homebodies. Roamers are mostly pelagic
and move great distances in a short time.
Some of the varieties of roamers that can
be caught while fly fishing include albacore,
dolphin, marlin, wahoo, sailfish, yellowtail
and tuna. Homebodies sometimes appear in
schools, but it is not unusual to find a solitary
one. Homebodies include African pompano,
Great barracuda, rockfish, grouper, amerjack
and snapper. These are only a few of the many
vanities that are available to fly fishermen that
fish the deep ocean waters.
Whether you decide to fish inshore or deep sea,
salt water fly fishing will provide an exciting,
challenging and memorable experience.
