{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Winter fishing

Adding to below...worst case scenario down there on a windy day is you float a tidal mangrove creek to find shelter from the wind.  Toss clousers around the roots for snapper, sheepshead, and reds and snook if you're lucky.  Sheepshead are real brawlers on the fly, as are the larger more sought after "glory species".

Florida Gulf Coast is a good suggestion.  Winter isn't as good as other times of year there but you can still catch very nice fish on the fly.  I've gone to Fort Myers the past two years for a few days of fishing, all DIY. Sanibel Island is probably the most consistent action in that area.  If your trip coincides with a cold snap you can fish a few freshwater rivers for snook seeking warmer groundwater-fed refuges...it was on my to-do list last year but the weather never cooled off enough to trigger them to move up the river I wanted to fish.  Lots of boat rental places around though shore fishing can be productive in a few specific areas.  Wind isn't usually terrible unless a cold front is blowing through and that's usually a one-day gusty wind type deal.

Thanks Mark! Sounds like you are just sort of surf fishing/wading? I've never attempted to fly fish on the beach, is wind an issue?
