About the host

Hosted by Will Dornan

Host profile image
We grew up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with a passion for fly fishing. Will Dornan owns and manages Snake River Angler, the largest fly fishing outfitter in Jackson Hole and in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. He operates two retail fishing stores. One in Moose, Wyoming and one in downtown Jackson. He employs over 20 full time Wyoming fishing guides.
My mom, Ellen, will answer your inquiries. She might be out fishing but will get back to you ASAP.
Will's love of fishing and the ocean led him and family to Islamorada for the best in salt-water fishing. Will's wife and kids love to fish, stand up paddle board, canoe and enjoy the Manatees in the canal by the house.

Why they chose this property

I walked into the back yard of 118 Madeira, stood on the dock and saw a manatee swimming in the canal. I could also see schools of big mangroove snapper hanging out by the pilings. I have fished all over the world from Belize to Mongolia. I could not pass up the chance to buy Happy Tarpon after 22 years of visiting and fishing here. Islamorada is unmatched for the variety and access to backcountry and offshore fishing anywhere in the world. It is also a peaceful, private location for the family. Islamorada is good for the fisherman and the family with all the activities available in the area.

What makes this property unique

Islamorada is unlike any other place in the world. The variety of water activities is boundless with snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, stand up paddle-boarding, boating, wind surfing, kite boarding, fly fishing, reef fishing, and offshore ocean fishing. The beauty of the Everglade National Park is right out the back door. White herons sit on the edge of the pool and look in our living room window (!!) and the manatees come and visit regularly all winter. Ever since I saw my first 100 plus pound tarpon jumping out of the water with my fly in its mouth I have been in love with Islamorada and the Florida Keys.
