the Texas Coast is a world class for redfish on the fly!
If you’ve ever dreamed of stalking redfish in skinny water, you’ve come to the right place. The middle Texas coasti s one of the most underrated but absolutely world-class places to fly fish for redfish.
At All Water Guides, we specialize in getting anglers on fish in this vast, dynamic fishery that offers more shallow, clear water flats than almost anywhere else in the U.S.
What Makes This Fishery So Special?
Longest Barrier Island System in the World
The Texas coastline is lined by a chain of barrier islands that stretches over 120 miles, forming a unique, protected inshore fishery. This natural structure provides countless back bays, marshes, and flats that are calm, shallow, and ideal for sight-casting to redfish.
Miles of Clear, Skinny Water
Unlike many other Gulf Coast fisheries, the middle Texas coast offers crystal-clear visibility in large sections of its backwater bays and lagoons. When the conditions line up, it’s not uncommon to see redfish tailing or cruising from a hundred feet away—perfect for fly anglers who live for the visual game.
Year-Round Redfish Action
Thanks to our mild winters and stable ecosystem, redfish are present here year-round. Whether you're chasing big singles in the winter or pods in the fall, there's always a shot to be had. And when the tides and weather align, we can have some epic days.
