BACKWATER FLY FISHING LLC
CRYSTAL RIVER, FLORIDA

Backwater Fly Fishing LLC, established on March 01, 2016, is a distinguished fly fishing company based in Crystal River, Florida. Headed by manager Jesse R. Males, the company has carved out a niche for itself within the vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts and anglers across Central Florida and beyond. The initiative began with its founder's early introduction to fly casting at age ten, evolving during his college years into a passion for exploring the varied backwaters of Central Florida—from Chassahowitzka to Crystal River on the west coast, including Banana River, Indian River, and Mosquito Lagoon systems. Backwater Fly Fishing LLC is not only focused on local fishing pursuits; its aspirations have taken it across numerous terrains and destinations. The company's mission extends beyond conventional boundaries, as its founder has sought fly fishing experiences in diverse locations such as the Florida Keys and Costa Rica, small wild trout regions of the Carolinas, and up to Wyoming’s Wind River Range for high mountain cutthroat. These adventures are central to the ethos that Backwater Fly Fishing LLC shares with its audience through its website backwaterflyfishing.com. The company serves as a portal for outdoor enthusiasts to learn and engage actively in fly fishing by sharing valuable findings, aiming to inspire others to embrace nature's offerings fully. The organization maintains an active connection with its community, inviting queries and feedback concerning content shared on their site or general inquiries about fly fishing. The ongoing efforts and commitment of Backwater Fly Fishing LLC reflect in the latest annual report filed on January 6, 2024. Operating under a registered FEI number 81-1654302 and filed state model FLAL, the company continues to contribute dynamically to both its local ecosystem in Citrus County and the broader fly fishing community.
