Headed to Ft. Walton Beach


Recommended Posts

Just got myself a Hewes 18ft Redfisher and I am ready to test it out on some fly fishing in the Panhandle. Headed down the weekend of April 22nd.

Anybody have any thoughts on spots to sling a line out near the Ft. Walton Beach area? What kind of flys are the reds/specks hitting this time of year?

Thanks in advance!

You might try the flats between Ft. Walton and Destin on the island side. Even better, run up the sound past Hurlburt Field toward Navarre. Lots less boat traffic, and some great flats on the island side. If it's flat, run out Destin P*** and run back toward Ft. Walton. Get in close. You might sight-fish for pompano and redfish. Good Luck! I grew up there, both my bros are guides. Nice spot.
