Captain Joevy Bodden is the Head Guide here at Forktail Lodge. We are the bucket list saltwater flyfishing destination that is not on most people’s lists, which is why on many days for the majority of the year you won’t see another boat on the water competing for the best flats. Our target species are Permit, Bonefish, and Tarpon.

After well over a decade of guiding his native waters, our guides use our experience to provide you a world class saltwater flyfishing adventure exploring our many local flats.

Our Permit and Bonefish are found year-round. With our primary technique of the “spot and stalk” enabling you to have a more intimate interaction with the fish in the water but poling from the boat is always an option if desired.

Whether you are a beginner looking to transition from trout to saltwater flyfishing and in need of casting instruction or are an expert that has fished around the world. We use our youthful energy, patience and expert knowledge of our flats nuances to give you an unforgettable day on the water with many shots at both Permit and Bonefish, often in the same day, for a premier experience at a great value. Grand Slams are a real possibility!
