"Fly Fishing & Life’s Deeper Currents: A Guide to Purpose, Passion, and Pennsylvania’s Trout Streams"

Introduction: More Than Just Fishing
Fly fishing isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lens through which life’s most profound lessons emerge. As a devoted angler, husband, father, and seeker of truth and beauty, I’ve found that the pursuit of trout leads not only to breathtaking landscapes but also to a deeper understanding of purpose. This philosophy is the heart of Journey on the Fly Guide Service, where sharing these gifts with others is our mission.

"She’s Fly: Redefining Outdoor Adventures for Women with Purpose-Built Gear & Inclusive Experiences"

Meet the Visionaries Behind She’s Fly

Dylan: Turning Passion into Purpose

In 2010, Dylan discovered fly fishing as a way to honor her late husband, Tony. What began as solace soon ignited a deeper love for the sport—and a frustration with the lack of gear designed for women. Teaming up with Emily, she channeled her expertise as an Agile Solutions Architect into building She’s Fly, a brand that bridges the gap in outdoor inclusivity.

When not redefining the industry, Dylan balances her tech career with adventures in music, travel, and cherished time with her pets in Fort Collins, CO.

Emily: Defying Norms, Championing Nature

A true Colorado spirit, Emily grew up challenging stereotypes—whether scaling mountains or advocating for National Parks and Public Lands. Her passion for fly fishing reflects her belief that the outdoors should be accessible to all, free from outdated industry biases.

As co-founder, Emily merges her rebellious energy with Dylan’s vision, creating spaces where women thrive. Off-duty, she’s chasing sunsets with her dogs or embarking on spontaneous road trips.

"Master the Flats with Captain Ethan: Tampa Bay’s Premier Fly Fishing Adventure"

Introduction to Captain Ethan Kiburz
Captain Ethan Kiburz is a seasoned fly fishing guide specializing in the pristine flats of Tampa Bay, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, and Dunedin. A native of Safety Harbor, his intimate knowledge of Tampa Bay’s diverse waters and the Pinellas Peninsula ensures an unforgettable fishing experience, no matter Florida’s unpredictable weather.

Why Tampa Bay? A Fly Fisher’s Paradise
Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters offer an unmatched playground for fly fishing enthusiasts. Whether you’re chasing the acrobatic Tarpon off the beaches, stalking Snook in the backwaters, or poling the flats for Redfish, this region delivers world-class opportunities for every angler.

The Ultimate Challenge: Tarpon Fly Fishing
Fly fishing for Tarpon is often hailed as the pinnacle of the sport. These silver giants are renowned for their explosive jumps and relentless fights. Captain Ethan highlights the critical role of teamwork, patience, and persistence in landing them, especially during their migration when water temperatures hover between 72–78°F.

Gear Up for Success

  • Rods & Reels: For large Tarpon, opt for 10–12 weight rods paired with robust reels featuring large arbors and smooth drag systems.
  • Fly Lines: The right line can make or break your day—choose based on conditions and personal preference.
  • "Master the Flats with Captain Ethan: Tampa Bay’s Premier Fly Fishing Adventure"

  • Leaders: Lightweight bite sections are gaining popularity. Understanding monofilament vs. fluorocarbon can drastically improve your hookup rate.

The Art of the Tarpon Fly
Selecting the perfect fly blends science and intuition. Captain Ethan prefers high-visibility patterns like black and purple but emphasizes that fly placement—not just color—is key to enticing these sharp-eyed predators.

Seasonal Strategies for Year-Round Action
Tampa Bay’s fishing calendar shifts with the seasons:

  • Winter: Target Redfish and Speckled Sea Trout in cooler waters.
  • Spring: A hotspot for diverse species, including migrating Tarpon.
    Captain Ethan’s expertise ensures anglers capitalize on these seasonal rhythms for maximum success.

Customized Trips for Every Angler

  • Full or half-day charters.
