Everglades Fall Fly Fishing: Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Albies, more…

Posted under fly fishing media, fly fishing news by Dave Teper

Our Fly Fishing Film Tour project is coming down to the wire.  We have just shy of 6 weeks left to turn it in, and are getting ready for quite possibly the best two weeks of our lives.  Will, the Bear, and a few others are on there way to Everglades City as I type this, to hook up with Jeff and I for our last main shoot of the year.  Our plan (what there is of one) is to head out into the everglades and explore deeper than any of us have ever been before.  We have a boat for just about every situation we will encounter, and aren’t afraid to use them…  If you see a caravan of Hell’s Bay Whiprays or a tiny boat that you don’t recognize (Skate) in the park over the next couple weeks, it’s probably us.  Feel free to stop by and see whats going on.

The fishing recently has been nothing short of spectacular.  With the warmer than usual weather and light winds, we have had no issues finding fish to throw at.  The redfish have been where they should be.  Snook have started to move into their backcountry haunts.  Tarpon have been laying up on the calmest days.  And when the tide has been too high to sightfish, the albie (bonito) bite off the beaches has been on fire.
