Fly Fishing the Middle Texas Coast is a world class pursuit with a lifetime of territory to discover. Endless grass shorelines, creeks, lakes and marshes make for a labyrinth of back country sight casting opportunities. Speckled trout, black drum, flounder, ladyfish and sheepshead commingle with the redfish throughout this estuary. Riddled with blue crab, shrimp and various baitfish, the flats are sparkling with life. Endless varieties of coastal birds including white and brown pelicans, roseate spoonbill, heron, egrets, osprey and the majestic whooping crane are common sitings throughout the shallows and add to the enchantment of the experience. Passion, knowledge, determination and patience sum up the qualities of this Captain. Book a trip today and let JT Van Zandt guide you on an essential Texas Fly Fishing adventure.
