Houma, Louisiana
When
it comes to fly fishing for Redfish, the Louisiana marsh west of the
Mississippi River Delta are second to none. It is the fertile silt
that flows from much of North America and is spewed into the Gulf
of Mexico by the "Mighty Mississippi River" that sets Louisiana
fly fishing apart from the rest of the country. Once this precious
commodity is released into the Gulf, the unceasing westerly flow of
the Gulf Stream skillfully places it's treasure right smack dab in
our back yard. It is because of this that our marshes are more vast
than all of the other states combined.
This
seemingly unending marsh, is a virtual nursery that supports the
growth and nurture of these fish from birth to early maturity. The
waters teem with life, both below and above, and fish from 4 to
11 pounds are the norm. The isolated and natural habitant is unique
and absolutely gorgeous. If a boat is seen within a mile of us,
I'm ready to move. We go into the marsh to be alone; if we wanted
company we'd go to New Orleans. :<) Spending time in the marsh
is like going back in time.
Fly
fishing for Redfish is a favorite sport of many fly casters. They
are strong and beautiful fish that can't resist the right fly when
presented properly. What makes Louisiana stand out for sight casting
to Redfish is THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM! It is not uncommon to sight
hundreds of fish in a single day. It could be accurately stated
that our shallow water flats are infested with them! So if your
casting skills lie anywhere between early beginner to expert, we
can take a short span of time and convert it into memories that
will endure a lifetime.
