William Cochran, Captain at Amelia On Fly

Enlist the help of Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing guide William Cochran on your trip to Florida and get your authentic Low country experience in the nation's oldest settlement, Amelia Island. Check off a series of species from your bucket list and explore the diverse estuaries the region has to offer, along with immersing yourself in the rich history and culture.


Fish the largest Blackwater swamp in the nation, site fish in the shallows of one of the largest state preserves, and cruise the surf just like the privateers used to. Enjoy the company of a multi-generation local and learn all there is to know about the area; this is Southern hospitality at its finest.


Captain William specializes in light tackle and fly fishing guided tours and he brings his guests out for a guaranteed safe adventure with his Beavertail BTX and Hobie Pro Angler 17' Tandem. He is happy to share with you all the best techniques which ye has gained through his years of experience.


Start rolling up your sleeves and get ready to fight from floodtide tailers to low tide belly-crawlers, redneck permit, and even the occasional shark crushing the flats. Other species that could be seen on excursions include Black Drum, Striped Bass, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Albacore Tuna, Jack Crevalle, and the Silver King himself.


Your fly fishing equipment, rods, reels, tackle, and fishing license are all included in the fee. All you have to do is grab some snacks & drinks, sun protection, be in your weather-appropriate clothing and you’re up for an adventure of a lifetime.


Every day spent on the water fishing is a productive time spent. Start choosing the best date/s and book your trip now with Amelia On Fly!
