    Default recommendations for flies for FL Panhandle

    I need some recommendations for flies to use in the flats of the Florida Panhandle; specifically, St. Joe Bay. I will be spending a week fishing there in mid October targeting reds and speckled trout, maybe flounder. Thanks!

    Default From Wanda........

    Hi Bill,
    Was there recently and caught both on a fly. Clouser minnows are always da bomb any where in the world. Chartreuse, tan, orange, purple etc in various sizes. Lead eyes or no depending if they're fishing flats skinny water or deeper water around islands. Just make sure they have moving water of incoming or outgoing tides. Grass areas are a secret hiding place for them both so weedless flies would be best. Crab patterns work as well. It's always about the presentation and movement of the fly as in any fishery.

    He could also visit Bluewater Outfitters in St Joe for the latest up to date information.

    Big fish love, Wanda
