Rockport Fishing Report – April 16th

Week number two of April is in the books. So we are updating our Rockport Fishing Report. Here is a little recap of what we have seen the past few days on the Texas flats, and what we expect for the coming week. Spring fishing is here in full force. So this is a much improved Rockport fishing report, over weeks past. So it is finally starting to look like Spring out there... for the most part. The past few days have really turned on, fishing wise. Not that it was bad before really. But the past few days have been pretty darn good out there. Certainly there a

Rockport Fishing Report – April 10th

Here is your second Rockport fishing report for the month of April. It's finally feeling like Spring around here. April has not disappointed, for those out here on the Texas flats. The weather has improved. The fishing is improving. And all things are looking up for the month of April. The past week or so has been pretty good around the Texas Coast. Our weather is finally acting a bit more normal. Daytime temps are in the 80 degree zone, which is about right. Winds have been pretty manageable, for the most part. Maybe even a bit better than average for this time of year? But not too bad,

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – April 2nd

Welcome to your first Rockport fishing report for the month of April. March ended on a little bit of a high note... for the most part. Hopefully April will finally warm up a bit more for us and kick the Spring fishing into high gear. But for now, this Rockport fishing report will cover what we've seen in the past week and what we expect for the coming days. Since our last report, things had begun to warm up a fair bit. Sunnier skies, warmer temps and reasonable winds had been common place as we were closing out the month of March. With the improvement in weather, we did

Texas Flats Fishing Report – March 23rd

Time for an updated Texas flats fishing report. We are wrapping up the second, and lighter, week of Spring Break around here. Still a busy week, but still much more mellow than last week. But tomorrow will bring that to a close, and things will return to normal down along the Texas Coast. So here is a recap of what we've been seeing this week, and what we hope to see out there next week as well. Our week started out with a bit more of the same. Cloudy, a little wind, blah blah blah. Not terrible, but still not feeling like Spring in South Texas really. We were

Texas Coast Fly Fishing Report – March 18th

Here is your Texas Coast fly fishing report for Rockport, Texas and the waters surrounding. Week one of Spring Break is in the books, and all was pretty mellow. The upcoming week is another Spring Break week, but far more calm typically. So not much to worry about there. But we will fill you in on what we saw this week, and what we expect for the coming week as well. We are still really struggling to find our Spring weather down here on the Southwest Texas Coast. This past week was another one filled with cloudy weather, showers and wind. Just as the past weekend approached, a full

Southwest Texas Fly Fishing Report – March 8

Here is the first fly fishing report for the flats near Rockport and the Southwest Texas Coast. We will fill you in on what we've been seeing this past week, and make our predictions for what you can expect for the week to come. Spring is here... well, sorta. But where is our Spring fishing?!?! The past week or so brought quite a bit more of the same. Clouds, fog, mist, rain and wind were again the norm. An added bonus early this week, we had a nasty cold front blow through. When we woke up to hit the water Monday morning, we had air temps around 34 degrees.

Troutfest 2019 Wrap Up

We are now a good week or so removed from trip up to GRTU's Troutfest. This was the first year that we have been able to exhibit, or even attend, the event up there. But Capt. Phil, having formerly been one of the organizers of the entire event, kept insisting that Fly Fish Rockport had a presence there. So we decided to jump at it and see what happened. Of course we were well aware of the event each year, and the outstanding reputation it's always had. We just had never taken the time out of our very busy Spring fishing season to make it happen. But definitely it

JJ’s Chug Bug Featured in SW Fly Fishing

Similar to our recent post about the Crabcake Special fly. We just found out the other day that JJ's Chug Bug fly pattern was also featured in Southwest Fly Fishing Magazine. It should be appearing in the March/April issue, in their In The Vice segment. This is the second pattern from Captain Jeff that Southwest Fly Fishing Magazine has featured, and another good one. This is one of his favorite topwater patterns for the for the flats of Southwest Texas. But he has also fished this fly to catch trout, jacks, snook and even tarpon. So clearly a good fly to have in the arsenal. You can find more

Rockport Fishing Report – February 25th

Here is your last February fishing report for the Southwest Texas Coast, and waters in and around the Rockport area. It's the end of a pretty lousy month around here, and quite honestly, we couldn't be happier to see it go. We are ready for Spring around here. Maybe that will actually happen in March?!?! It was another long dreary week last week. As has been the norm lately, we did sneak in a few hours of sun here or there. But nothing worth getting too excited about. For the most part, we were stuck with more clouds, fog, rain, mist and a few days a bit on the
