We Are Fly Fishing Guides

Friendly, Professional Guides
We are a small, locally-owned guide service located on Grand Cayman. There are no stock trips here; we cater each experience for our individual guests. We specialize in guided fly fishing wade trips for bonefish and tarpon… and any other fun species that crosses our path! Although not known as a flats fishing destination, the Cayman Islands have good numbers of bonefish and tarpon, as well as many other fun saltwater species, like jacks, barracuda, snappers, pompano, snook and even permit.
Cayman Bonefishing Specialists
Me (Davin Ebanks) and co-owner Joel Jefferson were born to the waters surrounding Grand Cayman. Through many hours on the flats, we are in tune with the tides and temperaments that determine when and where the elusive bonefish will be and how to get them to eat a fly.

We have fished these waters since we were old enough to hold a line and have pursued that passion with an unwavering dedication—ok, obsession—ever since. Fish Bones guide service has been guiding fly fishing anglers to bonefish and tarpon for over 15 years with the dedication, old-fashioned work ethic and good humor that characterize the Caymanian people.
This is Classic Bonefishing
Fishing has always figured prominently in the Caymanian culture, but slowly catch-and-release sport fishing is becoming the way of the future—a way to enjoy and preserve Cayman’s marine heritage. From the great Blue Marlin to the elusive Permit, these small islands are home to a staggering variety of species, and there are captains and guides to match the fish. However, few fishing charter captains are experienced with the special needs and challenges of fly fishing. That’s why I started Fish Bones Guided Fly Fishing back in the early 2000’s, and why it’s become one of the most popular guide services in the Cayman Islands. I clearly remember one of the early interviews I gave to a puzzled reporter doing a puff piece about Cayman fishing charters. They asked how I could successfully take anglers fishing without a boat for a fish most people don’t even know exists here.
While the Cayman Islands are not a destination that many people visit specifically for bonefish, it’s a nice option once you’re here. We may not have the vast flats of some other Caribbean destinations, but what we lack in size we make up for in intensity. I can consistently put my anglers on tailing bonefish without ever stepping foot in a flats boat. That is a luxury not found just anywhere.
I fish with a lot of beginners who just want their first taste of flats fishing with a fly rod. After hooking a tailing bonefish on their first outing, they’re hooked for life! You can see it in their eyes.
