BOCA GRANDE, FL FLY FISHING GUIDES

Boca Grande, Florida and Charlotte Harbor

Mention the name Boca Grande to a random group of people from out of state and very few will know where it is. Mention Boca Grande to a bunch of anglers and many will know the place. Boca Grande, FL is a small town on a barrier island to the northwest of Fort Myers, FL that doesn’t get a lot of attention because not a lot goes on there besides fishing. Perhaps that is the appeal, as some of the world’s elite have been using it as a getaway for years. Boca Grande sits on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico with Pine Island Sound to the south and Charlotte Harbor to the east where the water from both of these large estuaries flows into the Gulf through the deepest pass in Southwest Florida. Boca Grande’s unique location creates a marine ecosystem like no other in the area where miles of white sand beaches outline mangrove estuaries that are home to abundant wildlife, and the fish of fly anglers’ dreams.
