Great Day To Fly Fish St. Augustine

Carl could not have asked for a better day to cross redfish on fly off his angling list. We had perfect tides, weather and cooperating redfish which makes for an epic day. I had not turned off the big motor before spotting our first school of redfish that were pushing wakes in the glassed out water. I quickly climbed to the poling platform and Carl on the bow equipped with the long rod ready to cast as the school approached. Carl was using one of my favorite flies, an olive flats bunny that did not disappoint as he stuck this nice redfish.

Once the school settled down and began to feed again we quietly approached with stealth and actually watched them for a bit as the redfish were tailing, backs coming out of the water and slurping mullet off the surface. Carl put another great cast on the outskirts of the school and stretched his line once again.

 

This scenario went on for a few more fish before moving to another pond where Carl caught one more and called it a day.
