Hello, All really good looking tyes. At present I am working on tying and fishing Flat Wing Flyes in colors and shades useable in Florida waters. The Flat Wings were started in Rhode Island by Ken Abrames used for Stripers, Blues, Albies, and Bonitio. So far I've just tested my tyes, Tracking seems to be good and castability good. Directions can be found on U Tube. Happy Holiday to All. Tight Lines and Fair Winds wademan

Mobile AL/ Gulf Shores Fly Fishing
wademan replied to Trouta_Control's topic in Fly Fishing Gear & Techniques
My wife and I lived in Gulf Shores. West Beach was a good area to fly fish, walk the beach and wade out in the Gulf of Mexico. The only fly shop was in Fairhope Al. about half hour away. Orvis was the shop and outfitter. Great town as well. Hope this helps. tight lines wademan -

Off Gandy Blvd to the left is good fishing from Weeden Island. I have waded most of the area some years past. Lady Fish, Small Jacks, and Spotted Sea Trout. It Is open from sun-up to sun-down, was free to enter but you may have to pay now. Seven and Eight weight rods floating lines, 9 to 10 foot leaders are good. Clousers, Bendbacks, White baits are good. Hope this helps Wademan

Petegray, Where are you getting those barbless hooks for use in saltwater? At present I am crushing the barbs down on all my hooks. Using hooks supplied by Allen, very sharp and strong. Thanx for the come back. Tightlines wademan

Good luck and good hunting. Great looking skiff. Tightlines wademan

Mogup, Thank-you for the good wishes. A good feature is its weight. The vise does not move about when putting tension on the hook. I tye mainly saltwater flies, hope to do some for Peacock bass. Tight Lines wademan

Just got the Barracuda Dyna-King, and I am very pleased with the vise. It is made very well ( American Made ). I am in the process of getting use to its workings.

Utyer said a truth. Deal with your Fly Shope if one is within your reach. Years back their was several more shopes about in central Fl. now Orlando Outfitters is the place to do your shopping. I have been dealing with them for some time and very happy with service and materials. Personnel are helpful and pleasant. A cut above.

Again thank you all for the info. Will set about tying flies for the trip wademan

Planning a trip to Sanibel Island soon. Has anyone fly fished the area? Mainly wade fishing. Anyone recommend what part of the Island is good wading. Will be staying about a week, possibly second week Sept. Thanks all for input. wademan

Salty, How does the wig hair compare to buck tail?

Welcome aboard Cap. I am from L.I. and have fished the same waters that you spoke about. Do miss the area. I guess that the place has changed some, I've been gone 20 + years. Fair Winds and Tight Lines

Sending thanx to all for your input. I guess heading to the Titusville area would be the best. Tight Lines to all wademan

This is more in the nature of a question than a statement. I am looking for insight as to the saltwater fishing at Del Ray Beach. This in the nature of location of areas, surf or other locations. I am not from the area, coming from Clermont Fl. Thanks for any info. wademan
