Fly Fishing the texas coast

The Texas coast between Port O'Conner and Rockport offers excellent opportunities to sight cast for redfish, as well as occasional shots at black drum, speckled trout, and sheepshead. Sight fishing with a fly on the coast is one the most challenging types of fishing. Therefore, I recommend having some experience with fly fishing. The best way to get ready for the coast is to bass fish first.

I will provide rods and flies, but you can bring your own if you prefer. An 8 wt with a floating line is the ideal setup, but a 7 or 9 wt will work too.

I guide out of a Hell’s Bay Waterman. Trips accommodate 1 or 2 anglers, and one angler fishes at a time.

Full days

7-8 hours/$1,000
