For Many Saltwater Fly Anglers, Nothing Raises the Hackles on Their Arms More Than the Sight of a Cruising or Tailing Redfish
Watching redfish forage for crabs in mud or grass, or hunt mullet on an oyster bar is one of the most exciting experiences in flats fishing. Luckily, for coastal anglers in Virginia all the way to the southern tip of Texas, redfish, also commonly referred to as red drum, can be successfully targeted with a fly rod via kayak or stand-up paddle board. These crafts offer the ability to silently glide through the water, explore hard to reach places that a boat cannot access, and enjoy the shallow marsh and marine environments in a unique, unparalleled experience.
After chasing redfish in a kayak from Virginia to Florida for the past decade, I’ve discovered a few important tips and tricks to benefit kayak anglers targeting reds and other species on the saltwater flats.
