Bonefish guide - Key West

[stevehaun]

I will be heading to Key West next saturday. I will be taking my gear and hope to get on the water one or two days. Can anyone recommend a guide or fly shop?
Thanks,

There actually aren't very many bonefish near Key West; the best fishing for bones is in the middle and upper Keys - Marathon and Islamorada. This time of year is too early for tarpon, but you might find some permit on the flats, and fishing for jacks and blues is always good. I usally fish with Lenny Moffo on Big Pine Key. There is a fly shop in the Hilton Hotel in Key West, but I've never used them. Guides can be hard to come by during peak season, plan ahead.

The best guys are booked months in advance so you will not likely get one of the better guides unless there is a cancellation.

I highly recommend Capt. Justin Rea

Justing came highly recommended to me by several others within the fly fishing industry and from his peers in Key West. He's also a valued member of the Mustad Prostaff.

If Justin is booked he can point you in the right direction.

I have a couple of charters listed for the Florida Keys at [url=http://www.onlineguidefinder.com/atlantic_saltwater_fishing.php:57f14]Online Guide Finder Atlantic Saltwater Charters[/url:57f14] One is listed for Key West and advertises fishing for bonefish, the other is Key Largo.

Good luck
