Saltwater Fly Fishing


National Weather Service 7 Day Forecast for Titusville

Sight Fishing The Shallows West of Wale Tail
When it comes to promoting the growth of saltwater flyfishing in the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River estuaries, the redfish, or Sciaenops ocellatus, is second to no other species.

The shallow water feeding habits of redfish give saltwater anglers everything they look for in saltwater fly fishing; a large visual target and once hooked, a tenacious bulldog battle.

The Mosquito Lagoon is home to the largest concentration of redfish in the State of Florida.

The extensive grass flats, thriving ecosystem and crystal clear waters especially during the winter months, label the Mosquito Lagoon as one of the premier fly-fishing destinations for sight fishing bull redfish in the United States.

Fly fishing in East Central Florida is not exclusively limited to redfish in the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River.

 
Other Mosquito Lagoon species available to fly fishermen include Black Drum, Snook, Spotted Sea Trout, Lady Fish, river Pompano, Jack Crevalle and Tarpon when they are in season. 

Beginners and advanced fly fishermen alike can take advantage of the numerous flats guides that are available in our area to point out where the best spots are to catch the biggest fish.

All of our local fly fishing guides are light tackle specialists that will provide you with the very best equipment, patient instruction (when needed) and all the flies and leaders you will need to catch a memory.
