Venice Redfish Lodge, Fly Fishing
In April of 2011 the Platte River Fly Shop will be hosting a 5 night / 4 days of fishing trip to Venice Redfish Lodge in Louisiana. For those that have joined us in the past to the Laguna Madre in Texas, you know how fun it is fly fishing for redfish on flats. Add Black Drum, Sea Trout, Sheeps Head, Flounder and maybe even a Tarpon gives you have quit a few species to cast to. We've moved the trip over to Venice, Louisiana this next year with the hope of catching even larger bull reds. We also picked fishing dates to coincide with the new moon. As of August of 2010 the BP Oil Spill has not had an adverse affect on fishing in the Louisiana Marsh. The owner told me, "everyone has been scared away by the media and fishing is actually better". Please visit the Venice Fishing Lodge website (or go to their Facebook page) to watch videos, check out the fishing reports, photos and other information.
