We Keep You Close To The Fish

While redfish are the foundation of our fishery, the diversity of species is what makes this area truly exceptional. Anglers regularly have the opportunity to target speckled trout, black drum, and sheepshead on fly. During the warmer months, migrating jack crevalle and tarpon add another level of excitement, offering anglers the chance to pursue some of the Gulf Coast’s most powerful game fish.

With hundreds of miles of pristine shoreline, expansive grass flats, winding marshes, oyster reefs, and secluded backcountry lakes to explore, no two days on the water are ever the same. The incredible variety of habitats, abundant fish populations, and year-round opportunities make Rockport one of the premier saltwater fly-fishing destinations in North America.

Target Species

Redfish

Sciaenops ocellatus

Poling through the flats in search of feeding redfish is our bread and butter. Anglers that deliver a stealthy, accurate cast will be rewarded with watching the fish track the fly, flare its gills, and engulf the fly.

Sheepshead

Archosargus probatocephalus

Stalking sheepshead on the Texas flats is the ultimate chess match. These hyper-aware, picky fish demand a flawless cast and true patience. Success means placing the fly exactly in their restricted field of view, waiting out their intense scrutiny, and setting the hook perfectly when they tip down to eat your fly.

Black Drum

Pogonias cromis

Poling through the flats in search of tailing black drum is a game of absolute proximity. These tanks feed with their noses buried in the mud, demanding a fly delivered right in front of them. Anglers who place a flawless cast directly in their path will be rewarded with watching the fish tilt down and vacuum up the fly.

Speckled Trout

Cynoscion nebulosus

Speckled trout are aggressive ambush predators that inhabit grassy Texas flats. Anglers who can get their fly near a hungry trout will be rewarded with watching a potentially massive trout surge from the grass and violently slash the fly.
