Backwater Fly Fishing Charters

If you’re in Puerto Rico and itch for something different, but exciting to do, then why not come fly fishing? Backcountry Fly Fishing promises an almost surreal experience in the mangroves just outside of San Juan. Hit up the lagoons with your experienced guide, Captain Clery Morales, and experience some of the best fly action possible.

Capt. Clery is a San Juan native and knows these waters like the back of his hand. With over 20 years of local fishing experience, he knows exactly what it takes to attract the biggest fish and to hook ‘em aboard. He can’t wait to welcome you aboard to teach you the best ways to land that dream catch.

Up to 5 guests are welcome aboard the 23’ Ranger boat, built specifically for fishing these waters. Light and with a shallow hull, she’ll get you to the shallowest spots, keeping you quiet as you creep up on your prey. Make yourself at home on board, and take advantage of Capt. Clery’s offer of free drinks, including beer.

As well as experiencing an unrivaled service, you’ll also be using the best fly fishing gear to give you the edge over the fish. Make use of the Sage X 9wt rods, with plenty of custom flies to land on the water.

Snook, Jack Crevalles, Ladyfish, and even Tarpon call these waters home, so get ready for a productive day battling it out with these strong beasts. Marvel as the Silver King leaps out of the water to get off the end of your line, and experience a relentless thrill as these creatures try to run away with your line.

With licenses and drinks included, all you need to do is bring some snacks aboard and settle in for a memorable day out. Come aboard Backcountry Fly Fishing and discover these pristine waters, all the while seeing if you have what it takes to land that trophy catch!

"Owning and operating a fishing charter in San Juan PR is a dream come true. I was corrupted at an early age watching my fishing heroes on ESPN outdoors wrangle saltwater species of every variety ā€“ and from the time I landed my first Tarpon at the age of 6, I knew there was nothing else Iā€™d rather do with my life."
