Re: Anyone fly-fish?

There are quite a few fly fishing enthusiasts in your area and
Texas. Most are after Bass, White Bass and Perch.
Trout wise TP&W stocks several streams and small lakes and some cities
do the same. I don’t think any are in you area but
check out Texas Parks and Wildlife website.

If you decide to go saltwater you will need to go to a heavier
weight system. Say # 7-9 with backing. The flies you will use will
work and cast better with the heavier weight lines and rods.
You can catch the small Trout and Flounder without the backing but if you get
a big Red or Trout or Jack you will be in trouble.

In your area, if you haven’t already, check out Orvis on Westheimer road.
I think it is in the 5700 block. They have demos and a few clubs that are based
out of that location.

Night fishing is great in your area. Any estuary leading into the bay system
is likely to produce Speckled Trout or Sand Trout if you have a light source over the water.
For wade fishing I will give you two areas. End of Sportsman Road, off Eight mile road,
and at the end of Seawall Blvd by the Jetties there is a lagoon that would be good wade fishing with a fly rod.

JMO. :tiphat:

Good Luck. :patriot:
