Louisiana Fishing
Louisiana is home to some of the best red fishing in the world. The marsh just south of New Orleans is an abundant wetland that make up an excellent habitat for our primary targeted species, Redfish. During the winter months in Southeastern Louisiana, Large Bull Redfish push inshore for warmth and food. This time also happens to be when the water can get very clear making it an excellent time to sight fish with fly rods and light tackle. If you are looking for a trophy red fish, Black Drum, or Sheepshead on a fly rod, Louisiana is the destination to make it happen.
