Custom Flies designed to fish Flamingo National Park, the Florida Keys, & Miami's Biscayne Bay.

Capt. Michael Verniolle has been tying flies for more than 25 years. In those years, he’s innovated fly patterns to flyfish for a verity of saltwater species such as: tarpon, snook, redfish, bonefish, permit, peacock bass, and so much more. Capt. Mike ties some of the cleanest flies and you can find his work at places like Florida Keys Outfitters, Seven Mile Fly Shop,  and JD Outdoor and Adventures.

a word from Capt. Michael Verniolle about his flies.

01

Performance

"All of my flies need to perform well for what they are intended to do. These flies swim, float, and sink correctly."

02

Tied on Quality Hooks

"I only use Gamakatsu, Umpqua, and Tiemco hooks. You can't take a risk with hooks that aren't tried and tested."

03

Clean

"My flies need to look good. I want clients to look inside their fly boxes with pride."

Famous Fly Patterns

The Cheat Code

The Cheat Code is the most effective baitfish fly that I’ve come up with. If it eat a baitfish, it'll eat this fly. This fly casts easily, has great movement, and it is tied on a Gamakatsu SC15 1/0 hook.

El Ciale

El Ciale is maybe the most versatile fly pattern in any box. This fly was designed for tailing bonefish and redfish, but now I have clients using this fly for snook, tarpon, and even peacock bass.

The Cyclopes

The Cyclopes is designed to chase snook and baby tarpon on calm mornings. The idea was to imitate a dying baitfish on it’s side. The foam cut in the front of the fly funnels water that attracts attention with a loud pop.
