December 21st, 2006 - Indian River Sight Fishing and Mosquito Lagoon Flats Fishing Report

With the first day of winter arriving means great weather for us in Florida. These are the times when stealth and patience will pay off fishing the flats for redfish on the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River. This is why the Mosquito Lagoon is known as the redfish capital of the world! Mosquito Lagoon light tackle fly fishing is always great out here as well. Big seatrout are every where in the northern and southern Mosquito Lagoon.

Fly fishing for redfish is best with using a crab or shrimp pattern. Soft casts and great presentations will make this fishing more productive for you. However do remember that all seatrout are to be released until the first of the year. Actually at all times you should let these fish go. Practice catch and release for this type of fishing. This is why they raise fish in a tent. Remember big gator trout are the breeders. We have farms to raise fish for human consumption so make the Indian River Lagoon and Mosquito Lagoon a sport fishing paradise. Catch and Release will pay off for future fishing trips! Trust me!
