An outdoor enthusiast, Edwin Hammond Meredith works as a chef in the Florida Keys. While he spends much of his time engaging in activities that get the adrenaline pumping, such as snowboarding and ice climbing, Edwin Hammond Meredith also enjoys fishing when he needs to unwind. Fly fishing is particularly popular in Florida, so here are some of the best spots for it.

The Florida Keys: Often listed as one of the United States’ most attractive fishing locations, the Florida Keys is populated by anglers throughout the year. Fly fishers, however, should visit in the early spring or late winter, as this is when the waters are populated by many species of fish, including bonefish and tarpons.

Boca Grande: Sometimes referred to as the tarpon capital of the world, the Boca Grande Pass is home to tarpon, snook, and pompano. The fact that the pass is fed by both the Myakka and Peace rivers means it is constantly populated with gamefish and baitfish.

Lake Okeechobee: Another location that is considered one of the best in the United States for fishing, Lake Okeechobee is ideal for bass anglers. Interestingly, it is not particularly well-known for fly fishing, with most preferring traditional fishing setups when they visit the lake. However, fly fishers will find that there is a lot of success to be had with bluegill and bass.
