VerifiedFirst tarpon fly fishing trip with Captain Justin Bachert (Hot Water Fishing) booked through Seven Mile Fly Shop. Had a fantastic day and Justin used his excellent local knowledge to put me straight into fish with 3 tarpon which I was delighted with. The whole set up was first rate - the gear was all top notch, skiff immaculate. Justin was also great company and a very patient guide with a saltwater beginner. I would highly recommend Justin for a guided day in the Keys! I can also highly recommend Seven Mile Fly Shop - extremely welcoming to the visiting angler and some great gear. It really felt like the focal point to the local fly fishing community - I wish we had more shops like this in the UK!

Verified7 Mile not only hooked me up with a fantastic guide for a terrific day on the water, but Brooks and other staff were uber helpful the multiple times I went in their shop when I needed help with my gear and also fly selection and rig set up. Popping in is a must if you’re fly fishing in the Keys.
