FLYFISHING
Due to their abundant populations and
willingness to take flies, the Redfish has evolved into one of the
most sought after saltwater game fish. The unique Mosquito Lagoon and
Indian River waterways allow Redfish to be caught various ways -
tailing, cruising shorelines, schooling or targeting laid up fish.
Mosquito Lagoon is one of the best fly fishing destinations in the
United States due to its clear shallow grass flats where the majority
of fish you catch will be sight fished. Redfish up to 30 lbs can be
taken on fly in Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River waterways. Redfish,
Seatrout and Black Drum present year round fly fishing opportunities
while Tarpon are present spring to fall.
LIGHT
TACKLE
Nothing is more exciting as feeling the line
pull tight and hearing the drag scream after casting to a Redfish or
watching the explosive strike of a Seatrout on a top water lure.
Whether using bait or lures, the lagoons offer a variety of ways to
catch Redfish and Seatrout on light tackle, since the grass flats are
shallow and clear.
The Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River waterways have become world
famous due to the abundance and size of Redfish and Seatrout living in
these waters. Redfish up to 40 lbs are frequently caught on light
tackle as well as Seatrout in the 6-12 lb. range.
Light tackle fishing here is an awesome and rewarding experience,
especially if you enjoy sightfishing. |
