Captain Steve Bailey will demonstrate fly fishing techniques with the new ZG Helios rod by Orvis®. It’s been said that the ZG Helios by Orvis®, “The world’s lightest Fly Rod turns passion into addiction”! It’s light and fresh with a straight steep taper that gives a smooth transition all the way down. You’ll receive a complementary Orvis® t-shirt with every Helios rod purchased.

Captain Steve Bailey has fished with Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot. He has appeared in two ESPN shows, “Tailing Red Fish”. with Flip Pallot. Captain Bailey, who has fly fished since 1982 says “I thought I knew how to cast until I saw Lefty….then I changed. The practical part of fly fishing I learned from Flip Pallot.” If you’re new to the sport of fly fishing, Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot are two premier Florida fly fishermen and well known the world over in fly fishing circles. Captain Bailey fishes with the best; come and learn from him.

Browse our selection of Orvis® fly’s and ask Captain Steve for recommended patterns for the particular species you are stalking. He is available to answer your fly tying questions and assist you in improving your casting technique.
