The Florida Bay is approximately 30 square miles of scattered islands and a shallow water fish haven. It is the section of water between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico just off the southern tip of Florida. This is where the backcountry fisherman resides. Tarpon, permit, snook, redfish, trout, snapper and a host of other exciting sportfish are stalked in these waters. The majority of the water in this area is less than 5 feet deep with maximum depths generally not exceeding 10 feet. The shallow depths allow light line anglers and fly fishermen excellent opportunity to offer their presentation in the "strike zone".
