Captain Brian Jill is a Tampa Bay native with over 15 years of guiding experience in the area. Growing up on Florida’s Gulf Coast gave him a deep connection to the waters and the fish that call them home. His fly fishing career has taken him to remote and wild destinations across the globe, including Central and South America, Iceland, Greenland, New Zealand, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, the South Pacific, Australia, and beyond.

As a co-founder of the Angling Exploration Group (AEGmedia), Brian helped pioneer a new adventure-driven style of fly fishing films. He earned a degree in Anthropology from Colorado State University before trading mountain life for a return to his saltwater roots in Florida.

When he’s not guiding, you’ll find Brian focused on his fishing lodge in Mexico, Perla Negra, or out exploring new waters with his buddies.
