One of the most fun and challenging tactics to fish in the world

Fly fishing for snook in the Palm Harbor, Clearwater, and Dunedin waters is one of the most fun and challenging tactics to fish in the world. We sight cast these linesliders alongside the mangroves, or along the beach in crystal clear water.

A small bait pattern fly retrieved by a series of fast short twitches usually gets the job done. When the fish turn on, the action can be fast and furious and during the summer months it is not uncommon to catch 40+ inch breeder snook on the beach. Believe me, you will know the difference when you strip set a snook that doesn’t budge…

We typically will fish with 8-10 wt rods (depending if we are fishing around structure) with floating line and 30lbs test tippet. This type of fishing usually does not demand extremely long casts but it does require accuracy and poise. Our waters hold some of the finest snook fishing in all of Florida and with the string of warm winters the fishing has only gotten better and better in the last 6-8 years. If you are ready to have some fun and challenge yourself then give us a call and lets go fly fishing for snook!

Depending on the weather pattern or the situation with bait we will trailer our flats boat or bay boat to whatever part of Palm Harbor, Clearwater, or Dunedin that we need to in order to put you on the snook.

And if you are a night owl and want some fast and furious action or want to go after MONSTER snook with heavy spinning tackle ask about our night fishing trips. We do night trips during the months of May, June, and July for snook and take anglers that want to catch them on bait, artificial, or fly fish for them. They are nocturnal feeders, and fishing at night is very quiet, that is why it’s the best time to catch a monster or put up big numbers like 60-70 snook in a night!
