Summertime is a fantastic time to try night flyfishing under the lights! If you've never had this experience you're in for a treat! If you have been out at night then you know it's exciting, a little mysterious, cooler and usually much more productive than the summertime afternoon heat in Florida. Some of our biggest "gator" trout are hooked sight fishing at night! Typically experienced fly fishers, armed with four and five weight rods, weight forward floating lines and small (#6, & #8) flies, anticipate large numbers of small to medium fish that crash flies with abandon, jump high, and pull hard! Loosing count of the total number of hookups is not uncommon.

When the gulf of Mexico warms up to 80 F or more the "Albies" and "Bobos" arrive. For about three months, mid summer through early fall we can "rip" these bad boys on fly tackle.

Though a 6 weight will work, most throw 10 weights with sink tip lines. High quality reels are an absolute must. Cheap ones explode on the first run by one of these torpedos.
