Spring fly fishing New Orleans’ backyard
I am loving this spring. Overall we have had more sunny days then cloudy days and the fish are exactly where they are suppose to be. Average fish size has varied depending on what region of the marsh you are fishing but overall I’d say we have had about a 8-9 lb average. We have had many 10+ fish days and actually a good number of 20+ fish days(I think 4-5 days but I’m not sure and you can’t come down here expecting to catch 20+ fish on fly in 1 day). All you can do is book your days and hope for good weather. Because as usual in Louisiana with good weather brings good fishing. It’s hard to beat a 70 degree spring day with blue bird skies and floating redfish in gin clear ponds…
P.s As per usual the topwater trout bite has been pretty good in the clouds. It’s a very nice fall back plan if you lose your vis.
