New Orleans Fly Fishing
After numerous requests, we have decided to expand our fishing offerings here at Whiskey Bayou Charters and begin making fly fishing trips available to our clients during peak times!
If interested drop us a line and we will set something up. These trips are truly special and very different from our standard charters.
Reach out if you are interested in getting on the books.
What’s Included:
- 8 hour trip in the Delacroix Marsh or the Venice River delta sight fishing bulls and slot Redfish.
- The use of TFO fly rods and reels, Cortland Fly Lines ( if needed) on every charter.
- We only use artificial bait on these trips.
All fish are catch and release on these trips as they are the breeding stock for the entire estuary and the conservation of these fish is crucial to the health of our fishery.
Gear Parameters:
- ·8, 9 & 10 wt. rods are sufficient for the redfish in the marsh. We use TFO Mangrove Coast and Axiom II-X 4 piece 9 foot rods with TFO BVK SD-III+ reels as well as Nautilus CCF x2 8-10 size reels.
- Cortland WF floating lines with plenty of backing. We prefer one line size up from your rod weight.
- Seaguar Gold Label and Inshore Fluorocarbon 16-to-20-pound leader material. If we need heavier, we will provide. (contact use for our preferred leader formula)
- We use several different fly patterns (contact us for our recommendations)
- If you break or lose provided gear you will be charged full retail price for the broken or lost rod & reel

“Cap Joe put us on the reds w/ first cast and tight lines! Great guy, very fun and knows his $*!^!!! Had a great day from the moment we stepped on the boat. Will fish with him again and highly recommend him!”
Maleah Reynolds
“Capt Ezell was the greatest – very courteous, knowledgeable and professional! I was physically spent after fighting this 42” bull red and his calm instructions and encouragement gave me the second wind needed to land him!! Trip of a lifetime! Will definitely fish with Capt. Joe again and highly recommend him.”
Jason Giachelli
“Capt Joe made our fishing trip a success. He had us on fish all morning. We limited out on reds by 9 am and targeted another species. I would highly recommend booking with captain Joe. You will not be disappointed.”
