$3,060 per Angler
Welcome to a Fly Angler’s Paradise
Speed out to super remote creeks and salt flats in our state-of-the-art, ultra-light poling skiffs that quietly float in shallow water. Our guides push you silently along while you’re on the lookout for tailing redfish and tell-tale wakes in clear shallow water.
The beauty of sight fishing is about the hunt.
When the fish takes your fly, you’re watching it all go down. Then it’s go time. Nothing will make your heart race more. When you fight that fish and get it into the boat, the feeling of accomplishment is palpable. There’s no better feeling than that fish sliding back out of your hand, released back into the wild bringing the whole experience full circle.
A TYPICAL DAY AT BAY FLATS LODGE
A typical day is 8 hours, which includes travel to and from the fishing grounds. Typically, in the heat of summer, there is a mid-morning and mid-afternoon break to rehydrate, and an approximate 30-minute break for lunch. A couple of the guides may even provide music while you enjoy your lunch.
The atmosphere at the lodge is one of fun and relaxation, to say the least. From the moment you arrive, you’ll know we’ve been waiting for you.
Pre-dinner appetizers are served fresh daily at 5:30 PM in our spacious outdoor kitchen. Dinner follows at 6:30 PM each evening with a four-course meal, accompanied by a complimentary bottle of wine, in the upstairs dining room of the Main Lodge. You’ll awaken the next morning to a hot buffet breakfast served, again, in the upstairs dining room of the Main Lodge. Later that same day, you’ll enjoy a full boat lunch consisting of sandwiches, chips, soft drinks, and purified water while fishing with your guide.
More About Your Stay
To our southeast is Matagorda Island, presenting mile upon mile of shorelines, back lakes, and slough areas offering some of the most unique sight casting opportunities anywhere along the Gulf Coast. To our northeast is the Guadalupe River Delta, consisting of marshland lakes and grassy shorelines unlike anything you may have ever swum a fly.
Your Bay Flats Lodge fly-fishing guide will have rods, reels, terminal tackle and flies available for your use, but you are always welcome to bring and use your own equipment if you prefer.
A favored set up is a 7 or 8 weight rod with weight forward floating line, with a 12 pound, 12 foot long tapered leader.
In that you will be primarily sight casting to the fish, you’ll like using a fly with a small size 4 hook, and maybe even smaller flies. Patterns that are proven producers are shrimp, crab, bead chain or plastic eyes. You’ll never want to use anything that’s too heavy. We like flies like the Redfish Cracklin, Skinny Water Shrimp and Baffin Blue Crab from Sightcast Flies.
