Guided
Fly Fishing At Night
in Matlacha Pass or Sarasota Bay
IT
IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT MOST FISH FEED AT NIGHT.
WHAT IS NOT WELL KNOWN IS THAT THE FLY ROD IS THE BEST WAY TO CATCH
THEM!
| Under
lighted docks, fish are highly visible and so is the food they
eat. Many seasoned anglers I take out at night are shocked at
the tiny flies needed to trick these large saltwater fish. They
are also surprised to learn that the fly rod is better than
conventional tackle at pulling big fish out from under docks.
It may start out like freshwater trout fishing, but it ends
up like hand-to-hand combat! |

At left is a photo of snook oriented into the current under
the snook light at The Sun & Moon Inn in Matlacha, FL.The
snook are all 24" and larger. Schools of snook are common
under lights that offer the right feeding conditions and make
for excellent targets for the fly angler.. |
| Because
we are fishing in canals and interior salt basins, wind and
weather is much less of a problem and the casting distances
are relatively short. So even if night fishing doesn't interest
you and you book a day trip with me, night fishing is a fantastic
contingency plan for when the weather gets nasty. Save your
fishing trip! Give up a night of sleep and end up having one
of the most exciting fishing experiences of your life! |

| One
of the most effective flies for snook fishing under the lights
is my "Soluble
Minnow" fly. This glass minnow imitation is a dead
ringer for the real thing and produces fish when other flies
don't. You can get tying for the Soluble Minnow and a few of
my other flies by visiting my Fly Pattern
Page. Other flies that are exctremely effective are small
shrimp patterns, Seaducers, and small worm patterns. |
