Return to Home Page	Welcome! Backcountry Flats Light Tackle and Fly Fishing with  Captain Michael S. Vaughn
Catch and release angling on the flats of the Florida Keys requires several key ideas and methods. Aboard the Helicon we feel we address these in a totally professional and unpressured way. The goal here is to give you the best possible opportunities to catch that sought after trophy fish and release it to be caught again, without the undo pressures often associated with this type of sport. We are prepared to help the total novice as well as the angler who has fished for many years.
We also realize that angler capabilities combined with weather, tides and the like, present situations that vary greatly, often from day to day. With this in mind, each day's fishing is tailored to factor in all the variables and to hopefully give you the best situations under which to fish.
	What we want more than all else is for you to remember and treasure your experiences aboard the Helicon and to return many times as a friend. You will be exposed to a lot of wildlife and ecological views and experiences along with the fishing. It is quite necessary to understand and be exposed to things that shape and affect our environment here and ultimately affect the health of our fisheries and marine ecosystems. We are a very environmentally aware business and have been since beginning in 1977.

The following pages are meant to give you some knowledge and feel for what we do and how we do it.
