Juvenile Tarpon on Fly - Everglades National Park
Markus, a frequent visitor and avid Tarpon angler (& self proclaimed 'master angler'), sent this photo of his recent trip to the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. Markus sticks to his angling techniques from either a kayak or canoe. From the number of previous pictures I've seen, he's got it down to a science and could probably teach all of us a thing or two!
Markus makes the trip from Germany several times a year to do just this!
Thanks for the photo, see you soon.

Joe & Sandy Lewis - Everglades kayak fishing
Sandy Lewis landed the Largemouth Bass on her 1st cast! Her and her husband, Joe, took off for the Everglades on a windy day from the Florida Keys. The hour+ trip paid off for the 2 of them.

Fly Fishing Everglades National Park / West Lake
On a breezy day in the Florida Keys, Lynn Scholz decided to load her Native Ultimate 12 and head off to the Everglades to find some protection from the winds. Her ability to stand for visibility and casting is a huge advantage in her new kayak.
If the snook only knew what was heading their way. A determined fisherwoman on a mission!
A great way to let the cold Northeast winter pass you by, Fly fishing Everglades National Park and the Florida Keys
Thanks Lynn, see you and Dick next year.

Everglades Adventure 3d/2n
Sneaking up the Roberts River toward our 1st night stay @ Roberts River Chickee.
A lucky and fortunate day on Whitewater Bay! Not so lucky on our return trip.
We made it to the Roberts River chickee with ample time to set up and enjoy a fantastic sunset.
Doug enjoying our 2nd day, a 9 mile paddle from Roberts River to Hells Bay chickee.
Our return trip across Whitewater Bay, certainly not as passive as our trip out. At least we had trailing winds.
All and all a great trip with almost perfect weather. 3 days/2 nights, a total of 33 miles, 2 great sunsets followed by one extremely foggy and 1 great sunrise and a little wind on our last morning. Everglades weather will keep you on your toes and makes every trip different from the next.

Everglades National Park - Nine Mile Pond - Feb 2008
Evan, Jacob, Risa, Dick and Lynn set out on a 'Day Paddle' with Backcountry Cowboy Outfitters @ Nine Mile Pond in Everglades National Park. A bit of initial apprehension was gradually overcome by the natural beauty of the fresh water slough. Numerous birds like, Osprey, Great Blue Heron, Great White Heron, Green Heron, Great White Egret, Snowy Egret, Wood Stork, Kingfisher, Vultures, Roseate Spoonbill, Cormorants and Anhingas all were seen on the 3 1/2 hour paddle.
We didn't have to go far to find the resident Alligators, despite the constant 'eyeballs' that were never far away, a great time was had by all.
Thanks guys.
