Fall Fly Fishing in the Everglades – Untouched No Motor Zones Await

Starting in October, a truly unique fly fishing experience begins in the Everglades National Park. As angling pressure drops, the remote No Motor Zones come alive—offering access to an untouched fishery filled with aggressive Snook, juvenile Tarpon, and Redfish.

These hidden waters provide the perfect opportunity to fish in solitude, surrounded by miles of pristine mangrove shorelines and glassy backcountry creeks. Whether you're casting a carefully placed fly or working an artificial lure, these gamefish are eager to strike and ready to put your skills to the test.

With reduced boat traffic and prime weather conditions, this is one of the best times of year to explore the Everglades by push pole or paddle—getting deep into trophy fish habitat while staying protected from the wind.
