Louisiana redfish fly fishing report September 2015

The redfish are abundant and huge in the marsh around New Orleans. This is a spectacular time of year. Big redfish are crawling the banks with their backs exposed. This really makes them easy to see at distance. A well placed fly is the key to encourage a massive strike.

Low wind days with sunshine are abundant now. Cool fronts are moving in knocking down the water temperatures. Any fishable day has tremendous potential for plenty of fly fishing shots.

 

I am also finding the schools of redfish that all anglers enjoy. If the tide is ripping around a bank on the outside large groups of redfish are on patrol. There are still open days in October and November so contact me for availability.

Waiting

This morning there was a chill in the air whispering hints that the fall season approaches. Soon the waters of the Biloxi Marsh will become clear enough to see 3 feet deep. The prime season for bull redfish is close at hand. High east winds and clouds are the normal weather pattern at the moment. This pattern pushes water into the marsh causing extremely high tides. Louisiana redfish sit on the bottom during these conditions making sight fishing difficult. There are plenty of fish out there but weather conditions caused me to cancel multiple trips. Any day I can fish is producing a great number of shots.

I am going to take one last vacation before the fury of trips begins in October. October is generally a great month with cooler weather, no bugs, and light winds. My skiff is prepped and my Bronco is sound. In a week or two more the explosion of fish should begin. The year started off with a bang and we should all prey to the fish gods for a continuation of this bounty.
