You may choose to fish the crack of dawn with eight weights and poppers and gurglers. Thousands of acres of pristine, clear water, over turtle grass flats (that the specs love) are available within a short ride of your hotel. Speckled trout are renown for their willingness to strike top water flies. Some say the crashing strike on top water is the most exciting part of flyfishing. As the sun climbs usually the bite can be extended by replacing the poppers with sinking flies and some times even sink-tip lines. During the early spring we begin to target Spanish Mackeral. These guys school up in the bays and provide marvelous sport. When you find them...you usually hook quite a number of them. They are very "toothy", so you need a small wire or heavy mono bite tippet. Six weights and #8 glass minnows are often the combo.
