Call Capt. Rob Fordyce at 1-888-CAPTROB. He's one of the best Southern Everglades/ Upper Keys Guides. If he's booked (he fishes 280 days / yr) then he will hook you up with one of the best guides besides himself.

Most of the Glades are remote. Talk to Rob to see if he can accomidate the misses on a semi-remote trip if she will not do deep into the Glades w/ you.

Another option is you can take a nice scenic drive to Flamingo (look it up on the net) and stay the night in the hotel there. It's remote, but they have a motel, cabins, a shop and a restraunt there. Rob guides out of there as well.

You might want to mix up a concochion in advanced of greaseless SPF 45 cream (1/4), Avon Skin-So-Soft cream (1/4) and Off Horsefly/ Deerfly spray (1/ in a small spray bottle and fill the rest of the bottle (about 3/ with boiling hot water. The hot water will melt the creams together.

Wear very light weight and vented technical clothes. I recommend long pants and long sleeves. Hats with sun shield apron. Note, only spray concochion on exposed skin areas, except hands, forehead, eye area. Keep from touching the stuff either or wash good if you do. If you get any of it on your fly, you can forget about even a look.

Good luck and have fun.
