Tim Elms
Trading in the midges and nymphs of Denver, Colorado, Tim found his sweet spot in St. Petersburg, Florida, alongside his wife. Known for his urban angling, especially targeting Juvenile Tarpon from the shore on a fly, Tim is an expert in his field. Spending countless hours a year on the water, he has mastered the art of jumping tarpon in all Florida seasons. In 2024 alone, he landed over 300 tarpon and secured the coveted Micro Award in a Juvenile Tarpon Fly tournament for the smallest tarpon caught (a mere 3″).
When not chasing silver, Tim dedicates his time to educating the youth about fly fishing. He serves as a Co-Lead Mentor for the Mayfly Project in St. Petersburg, is a fly fishing instructor for FWC summer camps, and actively participates in IGFA’s kids education programs.
