The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge covers 30,000 acres of brackish marshland. Located on the north shore of East Bay, its uncrowded, remote shorelines and bayous offer excellent redfish and trout action to flyfishers. Hard sand bottoms, grass flats, and scattered shell bars make the location ideal for wadefishing and sightcasting.
Reefs extend well out into the bay.
Boat traffic and angler activity are generally light around this remote refuge. There are 12 miles of graveled roads inside the refuge. Maps are available at the entrance, and signs direct visitors to the two boat launches and fishing areas. There is also walk-in wadefishing access to East Bay along Oyster Bayou Road. Fishing is permitted only in designated areas along East Bay bayous and shorelines.
