Peacock Bass Florida with Justin Nguyen

Cast a Line Fly Fishing and Justin Nguyen go on a fly fishing journey through the urban landscape in search of peacock bass and other exotic species. He will demonstrate just how convenient it is to get on a nice fish without ever getting on a boat.

South Florida is defined by water and how to manage it. The swamps, canals, ponds and lakes are all connected and flowing to the sea. This interconnected flow of freshwater plays host to an amazing food chain or aquatic life. Atop the food chain in these waterways is the peacock bass. Beautiful and exotic, this apex predator is perhaps the most aggressive and sporting gamefish in south Florida freshwater fishing. The coolest part is that for much of the fishing, you can access it by foot. No boats required. Drive up, get out, walk to fishing hole and site cast Florida peacock bass. It is that simple.

This is urban fishing and by that I mean from land. It is surprising how much easily accessible water is out there and how much life it supports. Since most fishermen do not own boats, urban fishing is the only option. The trick is identifying the pieces of water that are ideal peacock bass habitat.
