Help please. I am a newbie to fishing salt with a fly. Live at the NC coast and been fishing piers and the surf. Can anyone suggest a good fly for fishing trout and reds this time of year and I guess it needs to go deep. Hope it warms soon.
I’m in Florida. For trout, the top fly is a chartreuse-and-white or olive-and-white Clouser. Reds will hit that, too.
However, when targetting reds specifically, we like to use crab or shrimp patterns.
Here’s a fly that has worked very well for me on redfish:
thank you very much.
when I lived on the Outer Banks I would use a clouser but also a gurgler for top water…didnt have to put much into it because there seemed to always be fish…them were the good ol days…
