Roatan On The Fly

TLDR: Great guide, great captain, impeccable service, fantastic teacher. I got permission from my wife to book a trip on our cruise where we would be making a port stop in Roatan. I booked the trip and explained how I was not a great fly fisherman and was a little apprehensive and thought maybe we should stick to spin tackle. Even sent him a video from my YouTube channel demonstrating my skill level with the long stick. Perry and his wife run a great program, they had a driver waiting as soon as I got off the dock and Captain Perry was waiting in the boat. We waded the first two flats and had PLENTY of shots at bonefish and a trigger fish. Even an amateur like me put a couple of good presentations in front of some fish that just weren’t in the mood. With a higher tide and short on time, we stopped and picked up lunch and tried to target fish from the boat. Lunch by Mrs. Chena was absolutely fantastic as we road to the next spot. Now here is the best part of the trip, Perry was teaching me more than I’ve learned in three years of trying to learn by self teaching. We ended up fishing some structure and catching a rainbow jack and a few small yellowtail. This was crucial because it helped me really learn to strip set. We went to another area where bonefish like to gather during high tides and lo and behold there were a few. After some stalking, I had my first bonefish on the fly. Crazy intense battle and next thing you know, I’m holding my first bonefish. I would recommend Roatan on the Fly to anyone considering a trip, even if you just have a few short hours on a cruise ship stop. I would give Captain Perry 10/5 stars if I could, he stands out among many guides I’ve fished with.

Unforgettable Fly Fishing in Roatan! Booking a half-day trip with Roatan On The Fly was the best decision of our entire cruise. Perry is an outstanding guide—patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. As a complete beginner to fly fishing, I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. With his guidance, I was able to catch bonefish and jack, making it an experience I’ll never forget! To make the day even better, his wife sent us out with a cooler full of cold drinks, a delicious sandwich, and fresh fruit—a level of hospitality that truly set them apart. The boat was perfectly set up for fly fishing, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience felt personal and tailored. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting out, I can’t recommend Roatan On The Fly highly enough. This is a must-do in Roatan!

The guides were very knowledgeable of the area and where and how to pursue the fish. They did a very good job of putting us on the fish, in the best locations.

Perry is a great guide and we were in Bonefish immediately and even had a couple shots at Permit on a short 1/2 day trip. If you are wanting to fish Bonefish in Roatan he is your guy.

Perry showed us a great time on the water. He worked really hard to put us on some fish in some really bad weather conditions.

Perry is the best guide. Had a great time fishing. Saw Permit and Bones. Unfortunately my casting and the wind didn’t work out for 6 hour fishing adventure. Perry will put you on fish the rest is up to you. Will definitely be back and fish with Perry again. Highly recommended! True professional. Thanks for the wonderful day of fishing.
