Hey All,

Are there any Fly Shops, or other fishing stores in the Destin area?

Gonna be down there next week.

Thanks!

I was down a few weeks ago, and while I didn't go in I saw a Half Hitch Tackle that was having a Tarpon/Fly Fishing show I think next week. There's also an Orvis and Bass Pro I know of.

Orvis Sandestin has the largest selection of flies and materials in area. Also Old Florida Outfitters in Seaside.

Old Florida is in Watercolor next to Seaside.

I went in there. Pretty weak selection.

destin is mainly conventional fishing... I work at the orvis store in sandestin (currently im overseas though) and the fly selection there is probably the best in the area. Keep in mind it is an orvis store and not a fly shop haha. It has pretty much everything you need though. If youre looking for materials I would go to emerald coast bait and tackle up the road in Fort Walton

Can you clarify “mainly conventional”? I’m heading there for a few days in September and I’m slowly putting together a fly box for walking the beach.

Spin and bait casters. Not as many fly anglers are traditional tackle.

Some Clousers in pearl/olive, pompano rockets and streamer patterns would be a good start. Epoxy glass minnows would get the interest of bluefish, ladies and jacks in the troughs.

Gotcha. Thank you for the suggestions and I will tie up a good amount of your suggested flys.

I need to proofread what I type. Suggested..... rookie!

We went offshore last week and got 28 mahi and 10 if them were on fly.

Old Florida Outfitters has scaled back, but they still have exactly what you’ll need in the way of flies and some intel for our area.

Orvis in Sandestin is solid too.
