Fly Fishing the Florida Keys and Everglades in June
June in the Florida Keys is defined by warm, tropical weather and longer days on the water. The winds tend to settle, making for calmer oceanside conditions and excellent sight-fishing opportunities. Afternoon showers are common, but overall, the stability in weather patterns gives anglers consistent chances to target tarpon and bonefish on the flats.

Weather Patterns in January
January fishing in the Florida Keys and Everglades is shaped by cold fronts sweeping down from the north. These fronts drop air and water temperatures, often blowing water out of shallow bays and backcountry flats, leaving them nearly dry at low tide. Early mornings can be chilly, and fish respond by stacking in deeper creeks, rivers, and channels where the water is more stable. This concentration of fish creates excellent opportunities for anglers targeting snook, redfish, black drum, sheepshead, and even the occasional tarpon in winter.
