Flies And Fins South
Use fliesandfinssouth.com to post any fly fishing tips or tricks that you have learned while fly fishing the South. If you have a question, ask it. A question answered and archived will serve as a tip for someone else down the road. We understand that fly fishing is an ever learnng sport so if you have a tip pass it along to another fly fisherman. We believe that everybody is constantly learning, and it is not possible to "know it all". Enjoy.

I am officially convinced that catching permit on a fly rod is a complete waste of time. Unless maybe you are as addicted to it as a few of us are. Be careful if you think you might want to give it a try. Next thing you know you'll give up everything else, move everything you might need into a buddies house, and cave up on an air mattress for months on end. You might even catch a few. |

WorldANGLING "Connected" The Drake Magazine Video Awards Best Fishing Film of 2008
Will and I have just put the wraps on our latest video creation, “Connected”, for the Drake Magazine Video Awards this September in Denver. This short video starts by punching you in the face and ends with a kick to the grundle highlighting some of this season’s tarpon fishing followed up by some of the sickest permit footage imaginable. Captured and edited in 1080p HD, we have assembled some stunning footage from on, above, and underwater in an effort to introduce permit fly fishing to the masses without watering it down. No how-to’s, time lapse shots of clouds, or boring interviews, just raw fish porn. We hope you enjoy.
When we started gathering footage for this year's submission, we had no idea that it would be such a tough fishing year. The weather rarely cooperated, the fish only showed up once in a while, and boats broke down, but we never quit trying. Check out some of this year's highlights, featuring some tarpon, and starring more permit than most people have seen in a 5 minute flick.

Posted by dimefisher on Wednesday, August 20 @ 10:55:38 PDT
so I recently took my dads old browning 6 wt. rod and martin s.w. reel to a bay we fish in alot. we walked out a little ways and stopped walking and just started casting out sort of just waiting for fish to show up. and i turned around and saw a bunch of spl;ashes in the water on some flats.so i walked over and there were reds everywhere. i had on a shrimp fly and casted out to a few reds that were feeding on something they would not even touch the shrimp except for one 25 inch redfish.

Naples Fishing In July: Without A Guide
Posted by MikePat on Saturday, June 21 @ 09:27:42 PDT
I'll be in Naples the first week of July for a family vacation, but I should be able to get in a day or two of fishing. I don't have the money to hire a guide, but I will if it is necessary. Would I have a chance without one?
