Video Summary

This video delves into the storied history and enduring passion for fly fishing in the Catskills, widely regarded as the birthplace of American dry fly fishing. Tracing its roots to the late 1800s, the sport evolved from English traditions into a distinctly American art form. Pioneers like Theodore Gordon, Rube Cross, and Lee Wulff played pivotal roles in shaping fly fishing techniques and styles in the region.

The video features insights from fly fishing experts and enthusiasts, including John Abgar (Vice President of the Catskill Fly Tying Guild) and Ed Walsh (Docent at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center Museum). They share personal stories, experiences, and the unique allure of Catskills fly fishing. Their narratives highlight the evolution of fly patterns, tying techniques, and the sport’s cultural significance in the area.

Participants like Dave Kazon and Tom Mason reflect on how infrastructure developments—such as paved roads and automobiles—transformed access to the Catskills. Seth Cavaretta, a newer member of the Dette Flies team, shares his journey into fly fishing and tying, while the late Paul Jorgensen is honored for his lasting influence on fly tying.

Captain Ethan Kiburz

Here’s your refined and polished version with improved fluency, conciseness, and readability:


Captain Ethan Kiburz
Captain Ethan is a seasoned fly fishing guide specializing in the flats of Tampa Bay, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, and Dunedin. A native of Safety Harbor, he expertly navigates Tampa Bay and the Pinellas Peninsula, ensuring an unforgettable fishing experience regardless of Florida’s unpredictable weather.

Tampa Bay’s Bounty
Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters offer exceptional fly fishing opportunities. Whether pursuing Tarpon off the beaches, targeting Snook in the backwaters, or poling the flats for Redfish, this region delivers unparalleled excitement.

The Allure of Tarpon
Fly fishing for Tarpon is often considered the pinnacle of angling. The thrill lies not only in the Tarpon’s acrobatics and fierce fight but also in the intricate teamwork between guide and angler. Captain Ethan emphasizes patience, persistence, and collaboration—key to landing these majestic fish, which migrate in large numbers when water temperatures range between 72°F and 78°F.

Essential Gear
Boat positioning is critical when targeting Tarpon. Fly rods for larger specimens should be 10-12 weight, paired with robust reels featuring large arbors and smooth drag systems to withstand the Tarpon’s power. Fly line selection depends on preference, but understanding the options enhances the experience.

Crafting the Perfect Leader
Leader construction is a debated topic among fly fishers. With evolving techniques, lighter bite sections are gaining popularity. Knowing the differences between monofilament and fluorocarbon—and tailoring your leader accordingly—can significantly improve success rates.

Captain Ethan Kiburz

Choosing Tarpon Flies
Selecting the right fly is both an art and a science. While personal preferences vary, understanding Tarpon’s keen vision helps. Captain Ethan prefers easily visible patterns like black and purple but stresses the importance of fly placement relative to the fish.

Seasonal Insights
Tampa Bay’s fishing opportunities shift with the seasons. Winter focuses on Redfish and Speckled Sea Trout, while spring brings a surge of species. Captain Ethan’s expertise ensures anglers maximize their chances of success year-round.

Services Offered

  • Inshore and night fly fishing
  • Full-day or half-day trips
