Louisiana Fly Fishing
Fly Fishing
One of the oldest known methods of fishing, fly-fishing, adds a new dimension in the angler’s quest for adventure in southeast Louisiana. These tranquil waters are teeming with shallow-water, sight-fishing opportunities for Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout among other Louisiana game fish.
Fly Fishing is loaded with technique, so it’s a great idea to get a good feel for it before you take a Fly Fishing trip. Our guides will help show you how to cast, but any instruction will take away from your fishing time.
Fighting Fish
Redfish & Black Drum are not speed burners like bonefish nor are they jumpers like tarpon, but they are tenacious. Once they feel the hook they will make a few runs initially. DO NOT MAKE A “HIGH” TROUT HOOKSET. It’s best to make a solid strip-set with the fly line, holding the bent rod against the direction the fish is initially running. Keep CONSTANT pressure on the fish during the fight and let the reel’s drag do the work. Try to work the fish back towards the boat by keeping rod pressure and reeling down on the fish. Do not get impatient, the fish is hooked up and you do not want to change that.
Once the fish is close to the boat it is time to take the fight to him. The quickest way to defeat a fish is to move its head. Keeping constant, opposite pressure on the fish will fatigue him. When the fish is confronted with the boat it might make a sudden lunge; let him go – there is a lot of tension on the leader at this point and the fish can break off. Fight him back to the boat as before. When the fish is ready, your guide will boat it.

Fishing & Hunting Trips
The Mississippi River Delta is widely recognized as one of the top fisheries worldwide – both inshore & offshore. “North America’s Largest River”, the Mississippi, which is the drainage for 37% of all North America, feeds the Delta with nutrient-rich freshwater. This creates a massive Louisiana inshore fishing nursery for the base food sources that all of the wildlife need that inhabit the Delta. Since there is an unmatched food source, gamefish of all species gravitate toward the Delta and some even call it home. Our stretch of the Delta represents nearly 14% of all US wetlands.
Within the inshore marshes and bays of the lower Mississippi River Delta, resides the very best Redfish estuary in saltwater. They thrive in immense numbers year-round. There are many good areas to fish for Redfish, but our marshes provide the most prolific catching anywhere.

The Plaquemines parish portion of the Delta represents 14% of the entire nation’s wetlands in 1 location. This wide variety that makes up a very large estuary is both a full-time home to many animal species and a migratory, or a part-time home to a vast number of other animals. Due to the very rich food source the Delta provides, it cultivates massive numbers & species of birds. Large numbers of wading birds can be found throughout the Delta. Thousands and thousands of many duck species migrate to and through the Delta for a wintertime home. A large number of fur-bearing animals inhabit the Delta with most spending their entire life around the marshes. Deer, coyotes, muskrats, otters, rabbit, raccoons, nutria, pigs and other mammals are a visual bonus when on a tour.
