April Fly Fishing Report For Rockport Texas – April 12th

We've been off the water a few days, watching the wind blow. So I guess we can carve out some time to update our Rockport Fly Fishing Report here in April. It's been a little bit since our last update. Not too much has changed really. But we will fill you in below on what we are doing and seeing here while fly fishing in Rockport and surrounding waters. First off... the wind sucks!!! It's been a little blowy lately. Enough so that we have scratched all our boats the past three days around here. Sustained winds in the 20's and gusts up into the low 40's mean that

Spring Fly Fishing Report For Rockport Texas – March 27th

It's the end of another week today, and also the end of Spring Break for most Texans. So after a pretty hectic couple of weeks, we are updating our Rockport Fishing Report. We will cover what all we saw on the water this past week, and also what we expect as we close out the month of March and move on to April. We've finally had a solid week of sunshine and warmer weather down here on the Texas Coast. And it was about damn time! This did great things for our fishing, compared to our last couple of Rockport fly fishing reports. The water is warming up and so

Our New Black Duck Cromis with Outboard Jet

Our New Black Duck Cromis Skiff This little video was shot a few weeks ago fly fishing in Rockport, Texas for redfish. We were getting out to play in our new Cromis skiff, by Black Duck Skiffs. This skiff will be the new choice for Fly Fish Rockport when we want to get out in a micro skiff. These things are lighter, quieter and far shallower than our other Hells Bay boats. Even better, the Cromis is designed to run with a jet outboard. Hand down this is our new favorite boat! But enjoy the footage of the new boat and fishing from a calm Winter day in

Texas Coast Fly Fishing Report – February 16th

We are down with some gnarly winds today. So it seemed like a good opportunity to update the fly fishing report for Rockport, Texas and surrounding waters. It's been a little over a week since our last report and things are trying to change around here, sorta. So here is the current lay of the land down here and what we are looking at for the coming week or so down on the Texas Coast. Since our last report, it has been pretty good down on the coast. We've had more nice day than bad, which means we have been able to get a bunch of boats out on

Tying G’s Black Crab For Fall and Winter Redfish

Tying G's Black Crab for Fall and Winter Redfish Captain Gibson is back with another one of his favorite redfish fly patterns. As we continue into Fall, and very soon Winter, this is a go to pattern for Capt. Gibson, as well as all of our other Fly Fish Rockport fishing guides. As our waters begin to cool a bit more in the fall, many of our sea grasses begin to die or go dormant. Many of them will turn brown and eventually float away with the tides, leaving clean mud or sand bottom behind. This black crab fly is easily seen by both the angler and the

Rockport Fishing Report – April 20th

A little later than planned, but time for another Rockport Fishing Report for mid to late April. We are a bit behind schedule from our last report. Sorry about that. Maybe us non-essential people are just taking that to heart a bit too much? Either way, we will fill you in with what we are seeing out on the water while fly fishing the Texas flats in and around Rockport, Texas. Since our last report, a few things have changed around here, but not too many. One of the more popular marinas in Aransas Pass, Conn Brown Harbor Park, is now closed. Apparently the city was tired of the

Texas Coast Coronavirus Update April 7th

Well... as predicted, things changed pretty much right after our last update. So I figured I would do my best to bring everyone up to speed again, as to where we are at with all things Covid-19, as it pertains to fly fishing the Texas Coast. So let's see how I do this time. From my last report on these issues, we were starting to see some closures on the Texas Coast, but we were still allowed to operate as guides. That hammer finally fell no more than 48 hours after I posted that. The Governor declared a Shelter-in-Place order for the entire state of Texas. In this declaration,

Rockport Fishing Report – April 1st

This is your first Rockport fishing report for the month of April. Spring fishing is in full swing around here. So in this fishing report for the Texas Coast, we will fill you in on what's going on out on the flats each and every day. And of course we will help fill you in on how the Coronavirus pandemic is affecting fishing in Rockport and the rest of the Coastal Bend. First and foremost, let's address the Coronavirus thing. We are trying to help keep people informed as best we can. These times are pretty crazy everywhere, and the Texas Coast is no different. Rules and closures are

Rockport Texas Coronavirus Update March 31st

With everything going on in the world and Coastal Bend of Texas these days, we thought we would share a little update on where we are at down here in Rockport and on the Coast. By the time I write this, it will most certainly be outdated already. Things are evolving that fast around here. But we will try to share where we are at right now, and what we know going forward, as little as that may be. First and foremost, I am very happy to share that all of us over here at Fly Fish Rockport are in perfect health and doing well. And we most certainly

Rockport Fishing Report – March 22nd

A bit later than planned, but here is an updated fishing report for Rockport, Texas and surrounding waters. We've made it a majority of the way through March already. So we will update you with what we are seeing and doing on the Texas flats while we are fly fishing for redfish. Tonight marks the end of our two busiest weeks of Spring Break around here. Week one was pretty hectic around the Coastal Bend. Even with all the recent events and virus issues. But week two was much more calm. Especially as the week wore on.  Things just kept getting weirder and weirder. But by now, most folks
