Many passionate fly fisherman love the challenge of the saltwater flat. The clear seawater of the Texas flats averages about 4 to 8 inches in most of the areas you will be fishing. This provides you a unique peek at the world of a redfish. The angler is on the bow of the boat, carefully watching for the fish in the pristine water, and the angler and guide are able to see it before even trying to reach it with the fly. Then, you will be able to observe when the fish acts in response to your cast. Texas fish that reside on the flats are feisty and consistently will take a fly that is placed correctly. Many anglers view their angling experience on the saltwater flats as an endeavor more like hunting. Sneaking up on the spooky redfish can be likened to the hunter silently stalking their prey, and it’s just as challenging.

Redfish that are located on the flats of Texas can be a skills test for any level of angler. Our water is usually crystal clear which allows the flighty fish below to watch for threats from above.

These fish are tough, but if you can consistently and precisely cast 40 feet with moderate wind, utilizing the least false casts possible, with a heavy fly and long leader you will not be disappointed or lack opportunities for fish.
