“Great time in a beautiful area.” I have fished with Capt. Luke Kelly for the last three years, and will fish with him this June, also. Fishing with Luke is like fishing with one of your best friends. He knows the area like the back of his hand and has always put us on fish. He has a very laid back demeanor that makes him easy to fish with. My sons, ages 24 and 27, have fished with Luke, too. They both enjoyed fishing with him. The area that Luke fishes is the most beautiful in the Keys.

“Good fishing with Captain Luke.”
I have found my trips with Captain Luke Kelly to be the most enjoyable fly-fishing I have had in the Florida Keys. Luke understands and appreciates what it takes to find fish but he is also concerned about the resource. Also he treats his clients like adults while maintaining professional performance. I look forward to fishing with him again!
