With Capt. Greg Bowdish
Welcome
to Barflyfish.com!
As a professional fly fishing guide, FFF Certified Fly Casting
Instructor, outdoor writer and photographer, and a member
of the Ocean Kayak Pro Staff, my specialty is helping anglers
of all ages and walks of life to improve their skills and
proficiency, whether it be with a fly rod or light tackle
spinning rod, by boat or by kayak. Saltwater fly fishing
is one of the toughest pursuits in all of angling and I
am very committed to the sport and the anglers I fish with.
If you haven't felt confident in your saltwater fly fishing
skills, I can help!
I am
especially committed to helping fly anglers improve their
casting skills and have the patience to see that you come
away from our time together a much wiser and more skilled
fly caster

What's
New on Barflyfish.com?
| THE
BABY TARPON ARE HERE!!! |
|
 |
Recent
rains have really fired up the fishing and pushed
the smaller backcountry tarpon out of hiding. What
has started out as a slow year promises to be one
of the best tarpon seasons we have had in a long
time. I still have openings for June, July, and
August which are the prime fishing months here.
E-mail me ASAP for available dates.
Congratulations
to Fred on a successful first fly fishing trip in
the the salt. We fished Matlacha and Fred caught
many different species including snook, jack crevalle,
ladyfish, snapper, and this nice baby tarpon. Way
to go, Fred!

KAYAK-FISH-FLORIDA.COM
IS UP AND RUNNING!!!!
I have a new website up dedicated
purely to kayak fishing - Kayak-fish-florida.com.
There is a lot of great fly fishing info on both sites,
but if you are into kayak fly fishing, then definitely check
out Kayak-fish-florida.com
"GAME ON" KAYAK FISHING DVD
HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!
Last May, I was involved with a project to capture big
game tarpon fishing out of kayaks on video. World champion
white water kayaker Ken Whiting had the idea for the video
and his company, Heliconia
Press is the foremost name in kayak DVD's and Books.
Hosted by kayak fishing legend Jim Sammons of La
Jolla Kayak Fishing, the video also features the work
of legendary photographer, Jock Bradley and Videographers
Extroardinaire Lisa Utronki and Will Richardson. Despite
dealing with the windiest May and some of the hardest tarpon
fishing I can ever remember, we did get our fish and in
the process had one of the most amazing experiences I have
ever had on the water - we fished the Boca Grande hill tide
in kayaks! Visit www.kayakfishingmovie.com
to see a trailer or get your copy of the video. You can
also read my write up about the experience on www.kayak-fish-florida.com.

Book
Now for Guided Fishing aboard "Barfly"
my 16' Dolphin Super Skiff
The
waters of the Florida Gulf Coast have everything to offer
the traveling angler, including expansive grass flats; mangrove
shorelines; wind-protected backcountry; some of the best snook,
redfish, and tarpon fishing in the world. My favorite fly
fishing areas include Sarasota Bay, Bishop Harbor, The Manatee
River, Matlacha Pass, Pine Island Sound, Charlotte Harbor,
and the Gulf. Here one can encounter a wide variety of fly
fish-able species and habitats. Inthe backcountry, I strictly
pole my skiff and if you want a fly only trip, you will not
be handed a spinning rod or have to endure chumming - I am
a fly angler as well as a fly guide! I also
offer night time fly fishing trips for snook and tarpon at
night in Sarasota Bay. For rates and FAQ's, visit my Guided
Fishing by Boat page.
