Weekly on the fly

by | Aug 4, 2022 | Weekly on the fly library

A week goes by quick and there have been no real weather changes so we’re still fishing the same pattern and working the top of Charlotte Harbor between the Peace and Myakka Rivers and south along the many available mangrove shorelines. It has been raining a little bit more the last couple evenings so we’re hoping this gets the tarpon a bit more active. The snook fishing has been consistent along the mangroves and it shouldn’t bee long before redfish begin to group up somewhat preparing for their fall spawn.

Winter Time red fishing in the Golden Isles

Winter time fly fishing red fish means big schools of fish, clear water and great fishing.  In the winter the water cools and as the plankton and algae die, the water clears.  On neap tides you can see 8 feet down.  So unusual for South Georgia flats fishing.  On good weather days it is possible to have shots at schools of 25-50 fish.  Sometimes more.  Fishing success is highly dependent on the weather in the Winter.  I am not heavily booked at this time of year.  Try to be flexible with the days you can get on the water so we can be on the water on the best weather days.
