Miami Certified Fly casting Instructor

My Name is Alex Zapata and I am a licensed charter captain and a Certified casting instructor by the fly fishers international organization (Formerly International Flyfishing federation IFFF) based out of Miami Florida. I specialize in teaching clients the art of flyfishing and fly casting. I will be your Florida Keys Flyfishing Guide.

Spinning or bait casting, rely on the lure’s own weight to pull line from the reel, during the forward motion of a cast. Flyfishing is a fishing method that involves casting the line, attached to an ultralight lure made of feathers or artificial fibers.
