Guided Fly and Light Tackle Fishing on the Flats and in the Backcountry
of Matlacha Pass, Pine Island Sound, and Charlotte Harbor

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 the patience to see that you come away from our time together a much wiser and more skilled fly caster

Guided Fishing aboard "Barfly"
my 16' Dolphin Super Skiff

The waters surrounding Cape Coral, FL 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 Florida; and friendly, affordable waterfront accomodations. With easy access to Matlacha Pass, Pine Island Sound, Charlotte Harbor, and the Gulf, you will have access to a wide variety of fly fish-able species and habitats. 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 the canals of Cape Coral. For rates and FAQ's, visit my Guided Fishing by Boat page.

FFF CERTIFIED FLY CASTING INSTRUCTION

As an FFF Certified Fly Casting Instructor, I work hard to help angler's improve their fly casting skills whether fishing together out of the boat or kayak or in a fly casting class.
