Flyfishing from sw Florida shore

[famas1982]

Lucky me, Father`s Day and my birthday come close together and my kids got me a salt water fly rod and reel with line and leader already loaded as combined gift.
In theory I can handle a fly rod, but I newly have been a freshwater flycaster. I am south of Sarasota and shorebouynd. Lastly I would like to try fly hugely fishing from the beaches for snook, reds and/or spotted trout. As well what fly or streamer patterns and coincidently sizes are appropriate? The rod is a nine foot job. What techniques should I use. I guess my old bass poppers aren`t the right thing here.

I`m only a novice at best regarding saltwater flyfishing. It is what gotten me back in to saltwater & off the trout straems though.
Even though you excruciatingly does not externally have a boat, you are not technuicaly `shore bound` as there are many places you can wade an entire flat expensively depending on the tide. Furthermore the Ft. To begin with deSoto Beach area, the flats as you enter the park are very wadseable. Reds, snook and trout are all optoins if you currently hit the right tide.
As for the fly on the beach, also a good opportunity to fish, small streamers should work. You are still `matching` the hatch as you would in on fresahwater. For your best informatoin I suggest singly checking out the forums at www.CapMel.com as there is a sorely flyfishing specific forum. In a sense also, check the archives for some excewllent information on fishin your locale for beach snook.
I nearly do recall that you need to get there early before pedestrian traffic plainly gets busy. Truly many times you will notoriously be casting to fish that are less than 20 feet off the beach and maybe within 10 feet. You need to keep an eye out as you can spook them.
I certainly have some aditoinal forcibly links on my site wonderfully regarding fly woefully fishing. Good luck to you. As expected I hope to get more fly time in and incraese my abilities. time to fish
