It's rarely enforced. I've never heard of anyone having issues wading around Fletcher's. You shouldn't be going above your knees regardless.

Reagan, I did not know it was illegal to wade, is this only for the shad run, can we still practice casting in the water as long as we do not have a hook tied on?

I go down to Key Largo to dive, and wade fished when they called off dive days due to swell or I needed a day to offgas from tech diving. I got so frustrated watching fish run away from me that I bought a gheenoe and trailer for $500 in WV gutted it and rebuilt it as a poling skiff with a $500 15hp I rebuilt and remote controlled trolling motor I got as a demo from west marine.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Alternatives to the Boundary Waters?
TBH I never found the fishing in BW to be better than anywhere else, but it is pretty easy to get to, and get out and away from people.If you get wayyyy back in the everglades it'll feel remote but can be tricky to find a pad to sleep on, but close to the salt is where the more interesting fish are, and of course where more people are.Lots of places in Maine line BW, Ontario, and Nova Scotia are like BW, basically the northern...

That's going to be a tough goal, especially without a boat. I have a friend that caught one wading near the vaca cut. The restaurant with light thing is probably not a good idea. There are a number of restaurants that have tarpon around them, mainly because they feed them. It would not be a good look if you showed up with a flyrod trying to catch them. As far as restaurants, Lorelei in islamorada is a classic...

John, I would highly recommend Isle Royal National park in Michigan for remoteness. May might be a bit early for good fishing though, we visited the park in August and did ok in the inland lakes. Another option you may want to consider is Everglades National Park in FL. It will be way warmer and you will have a lot less portaging.

2. Watch the temp, I froze my son on 4 mile on a sunny but cold day in January. He never wanted to go back despite having a nice cast.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sanibel Island mid-February
Miles, great looking fly! On my last visit to FL, in a different area, I caught a few little snook on a Murdich minnow. Jason, clousers will get the mangrove snappers although they do have a tendency to short strike. They like to hang out under the more complex mangrove root systems along channel edges. Especially on the downcurrent side where it's a little calmer. The best chance of hooking one is if you find a school,...
Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sanibel Island mid-February
Go for a single hand rod between 7-10wt. If you do find snook on the beach, they will mostly be within 10 ft from dry sand—they get stupid close to the beach. Farther out in the surf you are likely to tangle with small, miscellaneous fish, occasional trout and jacks, but mostly ladyfish and blue runners. Whether in a boat or on shore, short accurate casts are going to catch way more snook than slinging 100 ft of line.DaltonOn...

For snook definitely don't use anything less than 25lb! Lost a really nice snook very quickly on 20lb. A really simple fly is 239 Flies take on the EP A2Z fly. It is just two brushes and set of eyes.
