Flies... That Work well for Redfish, Speckle Trout, Flounder and other. If you are new to saltwater flyfishing, there are many things to learn about: flies, fish and there is no end to the list. I don't think any of us have all the answers. This is what makes it so exciting. Several times in my fishing I didn't think I would ever have another poor day with a certain fly. My fly would never fail. How wrong I was. I will never forget while conventional fishing, the red fish were many and for some reason they wanted nothing I had. Confusing. While wading back to the boat I was thinking, I will get my fly rod and I know they will take old faithful. (My favorite fly) I could not believe it. They ran from it as they had the conventional bait. How you present the fly, depth and clarity of the water, tide, wind, and the mood of the fish are a few of the things that determine whether he will take the lure or fly. So many things come into play. This is why fly tying and trying is so exciting.
