About Your Trip

Get ready to experience the fly fishing adventure of a lifetime in the heart of Louisiana! Launching from Hopedale Marina, just outside New Orleans, this trip takes you into the scenic marshes and saltwater flats of the Mississippi River Delta—some of the most productive fishing grounds on the Gulf Coast. Whether you're a seasoned fly angler or a beginner eager to learn, this trip offers an unforgettable day on the water.

Targeting Redfish is the highlight here, and Louisiana’s marshes are home to some of the biggest, most aggressive “bull reds” you’ll find anywhere. You’ll sight cast to fish cruising the shallows and experience the heart-pounding excitement of watching them strike your fly. Other species like Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Speckled Trout are also frequent visitors, keeping the action nonstop.

The trip has gear provided—including premium fly rods, reels, and flies. Your guide’s shallow-water skiff is built for precision, stealth, and comfort, ensuring the best chance at landing fish while gliding through skinny waters.

All you need to bring is polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and drinks to stay comfortable on the water. From breathtaking scenery to thrilling fights with trophy fish, this fly fishing experience is the perfect way to escape the city and see why Louisiana is known as "The Sportsman’s Paradise!"

About Your Guide

Dillon T.

Independent Guide

Just as comfortable on the back of a horse as a poling skiff, Capt Dillon grew up fly fishing and working cattle down in the South Texas brush country. His love for travel and big redfish drew him to the vast marshlands of Southeastern Louisiana. Dillon’s laidback demeanor and knowledge of local waterways will benefit anyone on his skif.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
