About the host
Hosted by Laurie Flowers
We are the family of Captain Bill Flowers, legendary 2nd generation fishing guide on the central St Johns River in Deland, Florida. After his passing in January of 2017, we decided that we wanted to keep this beautiful property for the generations of Flowers to come, and in doing so, share it with others. This is a beautiful and historic property that we know any nature lover would enjoy, so schedule your days, week or month here in our favorite place and make memories of your own!
