Laid Up Tarpon - Appearing to be at rest just under the surface, acting as if not interested because they are the king of the flats. Some say they won't eat, but if fed properly the fish that looks lazy will wake up, eat your fly and explode into action, creating welcome mayhem on the waters surface!
I am Capt. Scott Taylor and I enjoy guiding fly anglers of all abilities. I have been guiding since 1990 and have had my Captains Lic. since 1997. Over all the years of guiding, the one thing that still gets me going is putting clients on fish! It doesn't matter if it is Cutthroat Trout sipping dry flies at 11,000 feet in the San Juan Mountains on a 2 wt. rod or sneaking along a mangrove shoreline looking for a dark shadow in the water with a 12 wt. The cool thing about flats fishing is that View more... the guide and angler work together as a team. The guide slides the boat into position for the cast, then you present the fly!! Getting the shot and having a client hook up is what it is all about for me.
As far as fly fishing guides go, I am diverse. I spend the summer months running High Country Fishing Charters in Pagosa Springs, CO. Here my guides and I offer float and wade trips on the famous San Juan River chasing trout. In the spring and fall I am down in the glades searching for Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish. In the winter I am the Training Coordinator / ski instructor at Wolf Creek Ski Area. This last season was my 30th year teaching and crushing powder.
The Everglades are my favorite spot in all of Florida to hunt for Laid Up Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish! We will fish out of a 18' Hells Bay Waterman with a 60 hp. Yamaha.
