Rockport Fishing Report – November 18th, 2016

As promised, an up to date Rockport fishing report to lead you into the weekend! So here is what we saw earlier this week, upcoming for the weekend and beyond. The past week of fly fishing in Rockport was absolutely EPIC! Sunny skies, perfect temps and little to no wind were the norm each day. We were seeing tails every morning and plenty of fish cruising around throughout the day. And almost all were more than willing to eat for us. We also saw a good number of very large fish in a few spots. Over slot fish were the norm each day, but we also had a few real

Rockport Fishing Report – November 13th, 2016

Here goes, for your Rockport fishing report for early November. The good news is, we finally had a decent storm blowing out of the North. It was long over due. This will help settle some of the color in the water and blow more of the water out of the bays. All of this much needed, as mentioned in our last Rockport fishing report. So this is really good news. We had a few days of fairly stiff wind from the North. Not much for cold or rain, which was fine. But plenty of wind. So we were on the water straight through it all, with decent success. Certainly the

Rockport Fishing Report – October 28th, 2016

Your Rockport fishing report for October 28th is pretty damn good! We are seeing, and catching, a bunch of fish every day. The weather has been great. Sun shining, low wind and good temps have made being out on the water very enjoyable lately. Fly fishing in Rockport, and the surrounding areas, is very good. The water is still pretty high though. This has some spots a little off color. Especially with the right wind. But nothing that will shut you down at all. Just a bit of color here or there. The higher water still has fish spread out a fair bit. But again, not a problem at all.

Rockport Fishing Report – October 20th, 2016

Your Rockport fishing report for mid October is all about change. Or at least we hope so. But it is looking like we have a little change in the weather, which should shake things up around here a little bit. Fishing in Rockport, and the surrounding area, is decent right now. It really should be better. But it isn't bad. Just a bit tougher than expected. High water and very consistent weather has created a little more color in the water than we are used to. Again, not bad by any means. But it is there and can make things a bit more challenging. The high water has the fish

Rockport Fishing Report – September 11th, 2016

Welcome to your first September Rockport fly fishing report. Fly fishing here in the Rockport area remains good. The fish are there, especially in the mornings. As the days warm up, they can be a bit tougher. There have been some very warm, calm days as of late. This can make for tough fishing later in the days, and unbearable conditions for the angler. But, Fall is just around the corner! And with it, our best fishing of the year. First to come, a series of insignificant fronts. But they tend to rid the air of stifling humidity, make the early evening a bit cooler, set up some terrific sunsets

Rockport Fishing Report – August 6th, 2016

After a bit of slacking... FINALLY an up to date Rockport fishing report! Apparently all these days in a row are catching up with us. Or maybe its because its baseball season? Or maybe all this sun has fried whats left of my brain? Either way, here is the current Rockport fishing report for early August. Fly fishing here in the Rockport area remains good. With fairly consistent weather, and favorable winds, opportunities for fish are there every day. The mornings are your best bet for sure. The cooler part of the day will provide shots at tailing fish, singles, doubles and triples cruising the flats. 8'-12" of water has

Winter Redfishing Video in Rockport, Texas

  This winter I had the pleasure of meeting Gibson down in Rockport. He booked a good 5-6 days with Fly Fish Rockport throughout the course of the winter. He was pretty green to the saltwater game, but picked it up very quickly. Each day we would fish, he would usually come equipped with a Gopro camera, and I would have a couple as well. I didn't think much of it at the time, as this is pretty common form in the boat. But a few days ago, he sends me this little video edit he put together. Hope everyone enjoys this quick edit as much as I did. Good

Rockport Fishing Report – May 19th, 2016

Welcome to your wet Rockport fishing report for mid May. The weather has certainly been interesting the past week or so. Plenty of rain, with a few nice days mixed in as well. Pretty unstable really, but not all doom and gloom. Some days, we just have to wake up and see what it looks like, then make the call from there. Just as all this rain began to hit us, the waters/tides were coming back down some. So we were starting to see more and more fish each day. A little less water in the bays meant the fish couldn't swim quite as far back into some of the

Rockport Fishing Report – May 2nd, 2016

Better weather, high water and slack tides are the name of the game for your first Rockport fishing report of May. The weather has continued to be a bit unstable, but not bad. This past weekend, it actually overachieved and left us with 2 excellent weather days on the water. And after a quick front blowing through today, we looks to have a solid run of high pressure moving in for a few days. The water is still really high. Not all bad, though. We are just fishing a little different water is all. The fish are still scattered quite a bit. But they are there. You just may not

Guest Speaking at Texas Fly Fishers

This upcoming Tuesday, April 26th, I will be doing a presentation on fly fishing the Missouri River for the Texas Fly Fishers of Houston. This will be my second time presenting to the Texas Fly Fishers group. The first being a presentation on Redfishing in Rockport, TX this past October. I am looking forward to the opportunity of showing the group my home waters of the Missouri River and Craig, MT. The presentation should be about an hour long, detailing the river, hatches, tactics, flies, etc. And of course a bunch of cool fish pictures. But pretty much, I have a captive audience to ramble on and on about how
