Your Host and Guides

Your host at Tarpon Key Lodge is Indrek Kongats and head guide is Capt. Earle Waters. Between the two there is more than 60 years of guiding fly fishers around the world.

"What brings the fly fisherman to Homosassa Florida from April to mid July? Well I will tell you in one word, Tarpon! The only sport fish of its size that ventures onto Florida’s coastline. Hardly a year goes by without word of at least one angler and guide either tussling with or releasing a potential world-record tarpon." ...Capt. Earle Waters

Capt. Waters is a native of Florida guiding in Homosassa for 32 years. Earl puts more people into world class tarpon than any other guide in Florida and maybe the world. When you read that Homosassa tarpon can be unpredictable, well let's just say, you haven't fished with Earl! Earl has a team of hand picked guides to service every angler staying at Tarpon Key Lodge.
