Redfish Flies

Saltwater fly fishing for redfish is a lot of fun! Redfish are strong, hearty, and fight really good. They will usually eat a well-placed fly with reckless abandon and can even be caught on topwater flies for redfish. They are not super spooky, and usually allow anglers to get in to close casting range without being alarmed.



Redfish flies, like lots of other saltwater species, are composed of three main food groups that these fish like to eat. The first of these, and probably the most popular, are crab flies. Crabs are a major food source for these fish. The best redfish flies in this category will be tied in a variety of different sizes, shapes, and colors. They will also be tied with different eyes depending on how deep the fish you are casting too are located in. The deeper the fish are, the faster you will want your fly to sink. Some redfish flies have bead chain eyes that will land softly and sink slowly, while ones with lead eyes will land a little harder but sink much faster. Dressing these flies up with rubber legs and krystal flash is a smart idea as well, as it adds extra fish attracting power to them. Having a good selection of these will help you to fish in these different depths which is imperative when saltwater fly fishing redfish.



Saltwater shrimp flies are also among the best redfish flies. Typically, these redfish flies will be tied out of a synthetic material like supreme hair and will be coated with epoxy. When saltwater fly fishing redfish, this allows the fly to sink slowly and be very durable. It’s an ideal fly to fish over oyster beds and on ocean side flats and estuaries. These redfish fly patterns usually have a barred appearance to them, mimicking how a natural shrimp looks.



It is also to have a good selection of baitfish patterns as well when fly fishing for redfish. These are among the best redfish flies for sale as they pack a lot of protein. Redfish fly patterns like clouser minnows and redfish minnows will always get the job done. These saltwater flies for redfish are a great fly to fish when redfish are crashing thru schools of bait. You will see this happen quite often during the fall. Like any other fishing trip you go on, make sure to take plenty of saltwater flies for redfish as you never know what type of fishing situation you will get yourself into when you arrive at your destination.
