Summary

Capt. Greg Dini is a highly respected flats fishing guide with expertise in saltwater fly fishing and light tackle angling. Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, he developed a love for fishing early on, spending his high school years honing his skills in Mosquito Lagoon. This passion led him to the University of Miami on a Division I baseball scholarship, where he further refined his angling techniques in the bountiful waters of South Florida. After transferring to Tulane University in New Orleans, Captain Dini immersed himself in the Louisiana marshes, dedicating thousands of hours to this iconic fishery. His commitment to the sport has earned him a reputation as one of the most skilled and respected guides in the region. Greg is a founding guide at Flywater Expeditions in Islamorada, Florida, where he continues to share his wealth of knowledge and passion for fishing with clients. Alongside guiding, he is also a published photographer and videographer, capturing the beauty and essence of the fishing world through his lens. In 2023, Dini and his angler Evan Carruthers triumphed in both the prestigious Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament and the Don Hawley Tarpon Tournament, solidifying their place as a formidable force in the competitive fishing world. Beyond his professional pursuits, Greg is a devoted family man who cherishes time with his wife and three children. This is his story - we hope you enjoy!
