My son Corey and I traveled to Cape Canaveral to fish the Banana River with guide Willy Le.  This was entirely fly fishing.  We started out on a little lagoon which was holding some small tarpon that were not real hungry.  I got 4-5 hits but could not put the hook into one.  Corey finally got one to eat the whole fly and landed his.  Then we went looking for redfish.  We saw numerous fish but they also had lockjaw.  They would follow the fly but turn off at the last minute.  Same with the snook we saw. We changed flies 7 or 8 times, various sizes, colors a and patterns. We finally found a couple schools of trout and caught numerous small trout but I did land one 20” fish.  I will say the conditions were not real conducive to sight fishing as it was mostly overcast and fairly windy but we made the best of it.

 If anyone is interested in fly fishing the space coast, (Banana River, Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River area) I highly recommend Willy Le.  He is great at spotting fish in skinny water and telling you where to cast for best result.
