High water levels make for some challenging fishing lately. Steelhead and Coho are spread thoughout the system, but can be found in the calmer water. Small flies (#18-20)can be effective for native trout species following rain showers.

The wind finally settled and the tide was predicted to be extremely low. So, that meant a trip to Pine Island Sound was in order.
The Sound is a great place to look for tailing redfish on a negative low tide.
Launched the kayak just before dawn and began paddling to a lush turtle grass flat that often holds tailers. Took about an hour before I saw my first tail.
In all, I saw about 12 tailing reds. I hooked up one briefly on my First Cast Crab. The fly, a crab imitation, was named First Cast Crab because I hooked a nice spotted seatrout the first time I cast it.
The FCC also produced several more spotted seatrout and a bunch of mangrove snapper. I found trout, snapper and snook in cuts on the outgoing tide in the backcountry. I caught a snook and some snapper on a chartreuse and white Super Hair Clouser.
Later in the afternoon, I hooked up a nice red on the Clouser. The red was in a foot of water on sand. There were a number of reds back there as the tide turned to come in.
Sightfishing has been pretty good, although the fish haven’t been large. Still, small snook, reds and trout are great when you see them before you cast and watch them eat the fly.
The beauty about fishing out of the Native Watercraft Ultimate 14.5 is that I can stand up, pole and spot fish. It’s a very stable kayak and I love fly fishing out of it.
Tides are good the rest of the week for tailing reds.

Water flows this week have gotten down below 500 cfs and water clarity is fair. Sunday night brought some rain but it did not affect the water. This past weekend was pretty busy with other local rivers running high water. When coming to fish the Spring River if at all possible come up during the week. Many times the river is empty during the week. We offer full day float trips and during this time we are the only ones on the river. It really is a nice time to enjoy the river with this being the time when the really big fish are caught. Bead Head Woolly Buggers were the hot flies this weekend with some trout preferring olive and some black. Of course my Grandma's Brownie and Cotton Candy are still my heavy hitters. At times with all of the minnows in the river a White Woolly can be hard to beat. For the most current updates and reports become a fan on facebook.

Despite ideal conditions, my 2 buddies and I only caught 3 fish all day. There were BWO and Caddis hatching throughout the day. We didn't see any fish rising. All fish were caught on nymphs. We did see several spawning fish so keep your eyes open when wading.

The Weber is slowing down for the WInter. The spawn in over. Looking forward to early Spring before the runoff starts.

Fishing is good if you keep at it and move around to find fish. Early morning on the past few sunny days has been the best. Swinging streamers has been the best tactic for me.
