Louisiana Fly Fishing
Fly fish Cocodrie and Port Fourchon, Louisiana year-round for redfish, black drum, sheepshead, and jack crevalle. Anglers of all abilities welcome.
Fly fishing has quickly become a popular activity and flats fishing in the saltwater is by far the most exiting style. In recent years, southeast Louisiana has garnered a lot of attention by fly fishermen looking to pursue black drum, sheepshead, jack crevalle, and the star of the show in Louisiana, the redfish. Louisiana not only has some of the biggest redfish in the world it also has large numbers of the smaller slot redfish found in an expansive maze of creeks, ponds, and bays known as the Louisiana marsh.
Louisiana is considered the Sportsman’s Paradise for a good reason; the fishing is unbelievable. Most of the Louisiana marsh is very shallow making it the perfect environment to target fish with a fly rod. Not only is Louisiana one of the best fly fisheries in the United States it remains relatively unpressured. The vast area provides fly anglers with miles and miles of shoreline allowing boats to spread out and rarely see another angler all day long.

Louisiana Fish Species
Redfish
Redfish are one of the most popular inshore gamefish and the star of the show in Louisiana, which is home to the largest population of the biggest redfish in the world.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead aren't known for their blistering runs and long fights, but the appeal of fly fishing for them is getting the bite, which can be a challenge even for experienced anglers.
Black Drum
Black drum are a “slower” relative to the redfish, and can often be found and caught in the same areas as the redfish most people come to Louisiana to fly fish for.
Jack Crevalle
If redfishing was like opening a fine bottle of wine, then fly fishing for jack crevalle is more like opening a shaken can of beer. It is chaotic, explosive, and exciting.
