Capt. Scott Hamilton Hamilton Fly Fishing Charters

(September 8-14, 1997)

If you are lucky enough to have a reason or excuse to be in Florida, we recommend you contact Hamilton Fly Fishing Charters in Palm Beach. One of the very few fly fishing only charters in the country, Hamilton Charters has been fly fishing the Palm Beach County waters for over ten years. Arguably one of the most diverse angling environments in the U.S., the close passage of the gulf stream brings every species of fish swimming in the Atlantic to this area. From Amberjack to Wahoo, Tarpon, Permit, Snook, Marlin, Sailfish, and Tuna. Name a fish, and it’s very likely to make Palm Beach home at one time of the year or another. A year-round fishery, accommodations to fit anyone’s taste or pocketbook, wonderful weather . . . truly a destination worth the trip. “Time To Fly” is Capt. Scott Hamilton’s custom rigged, 21’ Wahoo especially designed for fly fishing. A great dual purpose boat, making the offshore waters safe and comfortable - with a 12" draft allowing access to skinny water, if that is where the fish are. Top of the line equipment, including quality rods in six, nine and twelve weight are furnished, or you are welcome to bring your own. Rates for a half day are $220.00, full day is $330.00 per trip with a maximum of three anglers. To schedule a trip - or for more information call Capt. Scott at: Hamilton Fly Fishing Charters 561-439-8592 Email
