Weekly on the fly

by | Aug 17, 2022 | Weekly on the fly library

We’re still working around the top of the harbor loading out of Ponce Park. For the most part, we’re still looking for juvenile tarpon. Poling mangrove shorelines we did find some rolling tarpon as well as saw quite a few redfish. We also took some time and moved a bit south towards the bottom of the west wall and Turtle Bay. We did see some decent looking grass flats that held some spotted sea trout and saw a few good sized snook prowling the shorelines. Small baitfish patterns have been our go to flies.

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.
