Fly Fishing



The majority of my Fly Fishing trips are for tailing Redfish and will involve some wading. My boat is a 22'Bay boat and is not set up for poling. However, it's very safe, comfortable and dry and will get us to the flooded grass where we can ease over the side and wade.

Normally I'll cut the engine well before a flooded grass flat and use the trolling motor to ease us up to the grass line, nudging the bow of the boat into the grass and lower an anchor. If there are tales, we will ease over the side of the boat and quitely wade within casting distance.

This is a fun and exciting way to fish for Redfish. Not only are you getting to use a fly rod, you can actually see the fish and know that there's an opportunity! It's not uncommon to get "buck fever", but there's always a chance for a hookup and battle in the marsh grass!


The most common times for these Redfish are during the Spring (April, May, June) and Fall (Sept, Oct, Nov) flood tides. Plan to wear an old pair of shoes or wading shoes. If the water is not high enough in the grass the fish won't be there so contact me if you're planning a trip during these months and we'll see if the tide's are right!
