Fly Fishing Tampa Bay Warming Up

Capt. Nick Angelo
March 5, 2010
Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing Tampa Bay is getting better and better since the extreme cold weather and fish kill in January. The redfish and trout bite is improving each week as we get closer to spring. If you can get out on the water between the hectic weather we've been having, there are plenty of fish around.

There is a good amount of redfish in the Bay right now. We've been staying on fish and getting plenty of shots on each trip. There are a few big schools and plenty of singles and small groups of reds spread out over the clear sandy flats inside the bay. A well placed fly will often get a follow or a bite. Sometimes the reds seem to follow the fly for 3-5 feet before eating it or spooking. There is a lot of small baitfish around the reds and a small bait fish fly will work well. I'm having good success with a small crab pattern as well.

Spring is just around the corner. Hopefully the cold weather fronts will give us a break!
I have seen a few snook around the other day as well as couple black drum. A good sign for warmer fishing days to come. The fish that's always on my mind is tarpon. Tarpon fishing is on the horizon and I've been getting my gear ready and tying flies for the upcoming season during the nasty weather days.
Hope everyone can get out there and wet a line!
