Fly fishing excursions take place on the 90-acre Shingle Pond (parallel to Shingle Creek), which sits on the most remote section of Grande Lakes. Guests board Hyde Drift boats alongside a guide team and fish the private waters of Shingle Pond, where fly fishing enthusiasts have the chance to reel in trophy Largemouth Bass. Guests also have an opportunity to spin or fly fish two miles of Shingle Creek on the Headwaters to the Everglades. During their fly fishing adventure, guests also can catch a glimpse of bobcats, deer and wild turkey roaming at the shoreline.
