I don't know about Alabama, but anywhere in the panhandle from Pensacola to Appalachacola Bay has lots of wadeable and fishable water. Florida Sportsman website has a lot of good info. Go to the Panhandle and Big Bend boards.

An 8wt would be ideal, but you can get by with as low as a 6wt depending on wind conditions. As far as flies, I would use some 2 to 2/0 clousers and decievers. My favorite all around subsurface fly is the schminnow and my favorite surface fly is a 1 or 1/0 gurgler. Both are easy to tie and effective.
