Birddog Fishing Co.
The Most Incredible Redfish Fly Fishing in the World
The coastal marshes of south Louisiana is arguably one of the finest sight fisheries in North America and arguably the best fly fishing for large redfish in close proximity and shallow waters. Our grass lined creeks and channels, mangrove studded ponds, and sandy gulf edges will make you feel miles from civilization, though in actuality you're only 70 miles away from the New Orleans International Airport.
Whether you come early season (October/November) to encounter large schools of brilliantly golden bull reds in the 18-25lb range or late season (December-March) to target big singles back in the skinny water marsh, you will not be disappointed. More often than not, you'll find these bull reds tailing, floating, backing, and cruising less than 20 feet from the bow of your skiff.

LODGE INFORMATION
The Fishing
Redfish
Redfish are present in Louisiana during all months of the year, and range in size from 5lbs to 40lbs. Almost all fly fishing for reds is done via sight fishing, providing an angling experience of unmatched excitement. October-March is the peak time to target big bull redfish, and a 9-10wt fly rod is recommended for these larger fish.
Other Species
Aside from redfish, anglers can expect to encounter Black Drum, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, and Alligator Gar. Each of these species are sure to provide ample challenging and exciting experiences on the fly rod!

Typical fishing days are 8hrs long, from sun up to whenever visibility gets tough. All water and ice is provided, but it is up to the angler to pack a lunch, snacks, and any other drinks they wish to have on the boat.
Getting to Louisiana
There are numerous daily flights from across the US to New Orleans. The New Orleans International Airport is located approximately 70 miles from the lodge.
