The Story

Go fly fishing in Florida’s Everglades with Orvis-endorsed guide Ron Welter of Semper Fly Guide Service: “Why the Everglades? 1.5 million acres of pure beauty. The Park encompasses such a large part of Florida, it is often hard to realize that this ecosystem exists in such a populated state. Being one of many stewards of the park, I try to educate my clients on the impact we as humans have on such a beautiful and needed ecosystem. I began fishing at The Park as a teenager and fell in love with it then. I am beyond blessed to have The Park as my ‘office.’”

Highlights:

  • Snook, tarpon, and redfish
  • Fish the historic Everglades National Park
  • I pride myself on educating clients on backcountry and flats fishing throughout The Park
  • Rates start at $450 for a half-day
  • Season runs October through June

Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.

The Everglades National Park is 1.5 million acres of pure, breathtaking beauty. The Park originates about mid-state and flows south as a “River of Grass” slowly morphing into the backcountry and then into the Gulf of Mexico with the aid of numerous river systems. With tons of migratory birds and other wildlife calling The Park home, you’ll never know what you will see around any turn, in any of the numerous bays, or on any of the expansive tidal flats. This ecosystem never ceases to amaze me.
