Tailer Trash Fly Fishing

Take a seat around the table with Ben Pickett from Tailer Trash Fly Fishing and Caleb Esparza. Caleb has done quite a lot with his 34 short years on this earth, growing up in New Smyrna Beach he cut his teeth in the surf and out in the Lagoon canoeing and fishing the back waters. Bumming rides from old salty dogs who took him under their wing and showed him the ropes along with cultivating him into a waterman. After a short stint in Miami for lot of fun and a little school, Caleb Joined the Navy where he served for 9 years. He was stationed in California and did some deployments in the Middle East before landing a sweet gig as a small boats and communications trainer in Mississippi, He started guiding in the gulf and rode out the rest of his contract making memories and friends along the way.

In 2020 he and his wife welcomed their first daughter into the world and moved back to Florida where he developed into a superintendent specializing in high end residential construction and creating as much time on the water and in the woods as possible.
