Tropic Bay, Privately Fly Fishing the Gulf of Mexico

      

     By No Bananas Fishing Reviews

 Tropic Bay is a Saltwater Fly Fishing guide service consisting of top notch fly fishing guides anchored by Captain Pat Horrigan. Capt. Pat is one of only two hundred IGFA Certified Fly Fishing Guides in the world. That distinction is by invitation only by the International Game Fish Association which should tell you plenty about the quality and the direction of the operation.

 Captain Pat, guide, fly fishing instructor, wildlife photographer, writer and editor to a fly fishing magazine, located his operation on the Florida Nature Coast several years ago. The Nature Coast is a nine county coastal preserve and bird sanctuary area on the Central West Coast of Florida. There are of course some water front communities along the way, but very few. Most of the development is about three miles east of the Gulf along US Hwy. 19 including some very nice brand new hotels.

 Capt. Pat specializes in quietly providing a very private service for notables and dignitaries from all over the world. Sorry, no cameras please! Just top quality fly fishing in the backcountry and pristine flats along the Nature Coast. Fly fishing without the public attention and notoriety that so many of his clients want to escape for a few days.

The fishing is very, very good, the guide service is top notch with the best of everything and personal instruction is also available. Pricing is surprisingly modest however the tips are reported to be quite handsome, as you can imagine.

 Clients may fly into Tampa International or St. Petersburg International airports. Private airport access is available for small private aircraft with pick-up service to take clients to their lodging. To learn more about Tropic Bay, visit their website at TropicBay.com
