Planning Your Trip

WHAT TO BRING

Tackle

The following is a suggested list of fly rods, flies and leaders to bring when you are fishing at Stafford Creek Lodge. For the upcoming season, a selection of flies will be available from guides at the Lodge. Other items include: appropriate fly reels with 200-250 yards of backing, appropriate floating fly lines, extra fly lines, saltwater pliers, clippers, extra tippet material, and 80-100lbs shock tippet.

Our guides highly recommend the use of high-quality hooks, especially for Tarpon and Permit flies.
