Each cast would bring redfish out of the school to chase our fly. Sometimes two, sometimes three, and sometimes even a half-dozen fish chased the fly back to the boat. After we caught the first one I realized how special this opportunity was. Sight-fishing for redfish that size is definitely fly fishing at its best. We started the day looking for Spanish mackerel and ended it with Walker catching his redfish of a lifetime on fly.
Spring is here and it's time to fish.
May. Trout and redfish are starting to show up near the flats. Fish in the bay this time of year love being on edges. I mean water depth changes or environment changes. The mouth of creeks, rivers and bayous is also a great place to fish this time of year. Fish that went up these creeks and rivers to find warmer water for the winter are following baitfish back out into the bay.
