caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2016 Bass, bluegill, and mayan chiclids usually. Haven't done any fly fishing in salt yet. I'm in Clewiston. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swamp Fly 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2016 Welcome. Nice fish. Being in Clewiston are you fishing the Lake proper or the periphery? One way or another it's going to be interesting for a while with all the rain... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks. I fish on Okeechobee quite often,as it's in my backyard. I also fish the caloosahatchee river and many rock pits, ponds, and canals. Summer time is fly time when big bluegill are bedding. Other than that I fish whatever is biting. Specks in winter, freshwater snook in spring and fall, bluegill and shellcrackers in summer, and bass year round. I wish I had more opportunity to fish saltwater on either coast, and when I do it's not with a fly rod. I'm dying to get down south after some peacocks though.

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Islander.... from your Benny Hill avatar, I always assumed you were from the British Isles. But in Venice area, you should be familiar with the Caloosahatchee. Better hook up with caloosa bug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
islander727 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Yeah, I've driven over it a few times, wondering how many snook are in there... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
