Fly Fishing Technics: Summer fishing; go early and get in before the storms. Sight casting is tuff do to water clarity so blind casting is a viable option. Visibility is a two way street – the tarpon and snook can’t see you as well too!
Fishing Tip of the Week: The backcountry is producing better with the rain cooled water fish the falling tides when the redfish and snook come out from under the mangroves.
