Capt. Barry Hoffman
Licensed
and guiding in the Florida Keys since 1990, Capt. Barry Hoffman is a native
of South Florida and has fished the Southeast coast for nearly 30 years.
Growing up in the small town of Dania Florida, nights and weekends were
spent pursuing any and all creatures swimming. After having moved to the
Keys in 1982, he worked as an Islamorada Dive Master and a Bahamas charter
guide while operating an upscale yacht maintenance company at the Ocean
Reef Club in Key Largo. After intervals at the University of Florida, Florida
Keys Community College (yes, there is such a school) and Florida International
University, Barry settled on guiding (fishing being an ever-present
hobby) sixteen years ago. A victim of his love for the Florida Keys, it's
gin clear water and a tourism driven economy, it was the right choice.
A self-taught fly caster and imaginative fly tier, he has been featured
in publications such as Saltwater Sportsman, South Florida Sportfishing
Magazine, Fly Fishing America Magazine and in Saltwater Software's Florida
Fishing CD-ROM. Capt Barry Hoffman has fished with such notables as Curt
Gowdy Sr. (the American Sportsman), Flip Pallot (Walkers Cay Chronicles)
and Chico Fernandez. Having published numerous articles on bonefish and
tarpon, he currently writes a weekly column for over 30 major fishing web
sites and the local fishing guide, the "Weekly Fisherman". Barry
has also been featured in a book entitled "Saltwater Fly Fishing from Maine
to Texas," and is a field contributor for Water Way Magazine. Capt.
Barry prides himself on being an enthusiastic and patient fly casting instructor/guide.
Recently the photo bug has caught him and he can be found out in the Everglades
with his camera and kayak, chasing the fish he typically stalks with his
clients. Most enjoyable to him? Introducing clients to a part
of the world where the fish outnumber the residents in quantity and habitat.....
