Fly Fishing Report – Naples to the Everglades

09/04/24 Fly Fishing Report: Conditions are good. Morning low tides will offer good site casting opportunities as you may be able to spot fish easily. Winds will come from the southeast except during pop up thunderstorms.

Tip: Head into the back country early in the morning because the water should be calm. Look for rolling tarpon or surface feeding snook.

Tips and Techniques: Redfish: You can sight cast in shallow, lightly stained water for redfish. You can find them in shallow bays and points. Sight casting in shallow off color water is the best for reds and working points and shallow bays work best for them. Snook and Tarpon: You will find them in moving water and up large and small inlets and rivers. You should be able to find some large snook. Move slowly and be quiet. Make sure you cast ahead of the boat, or otherwise, you may spook them.
