LA Tails 

Louisiana redfish make the perfect sight-fishing quarry. They’re big, plentiful, readily eat flies, fight like the dickens, and reveal themselves in a variety of exciting ways. They can “tail”, tipping down and breaking the water’s surface with their caudal fin - a clear sign of a happily feeding fish. They can “crawl”, navigating water so shallow their entire backs are out, or simply cause a ruckus, splashing water into the air while attacking bait with reckless abandon. No matter how you spot them, these bruisers will test the limits of your gear, your mettle, and provide you with a truly unique fly fishing experience. Just be warned - it’s very addictive!

Peak redfish season begins in fall and lasts through winter, but Louisiana is really a year round fishery. Sight fishing is best when the wind lays down and the sun comes out and that can happen any time of year.
