Eased out the canal and ran to an area that I love to fish for trout in the winter. No trout at home but many, many redfish. I quickly pitched a soft jerkbait and hooked up immediately.

I figured if I could sight cast a soft plastic to a red, I could toss a fly just as easily. Well after about 40 attempts this 1 decided to eat. She measured 26.75 " Caught her on the Capt. Caveman fly Chalk tied for me.



Not long after I released her, I got red # 2 on the same fly. This 1 went 25".

After that the wind got worse as did my flycasting ability. I made a move to new waters and found a fat trout.

I had hoped to spend the rest of the day flycasting but the wind just got worse. Instead I opted to sight cast to reds with a soft jerkbait. Ended up with 5 or 6 more all about 24". Probably saw 500-600 reds all day.




It was another beautiful day on the flats even with the aggravating wind. I plan to do more of this flyfishing.
Can't wait til next time.
