Fly fishing for Everglades snook is arguably the finest in saltwater fly shot making. When a snook is spotted, there usually isn’t time to do much more than take the shot that is provided. Snook are masters of hiding in plain sight, and just seeing them is a big part of the game. You may only see a bit of green on their back, the yellow tip of a fin, a ripple in the water, or a grey shape that looks out of place.

Sometimes snook can be found in the mangroves at high tide where they are virtually uncatchable to fly rodders, but once the tide drops, those fish are forced to leave and can be found sliding down a shoreline, laying in a muddy cove, or floating off of the bank in search of an easy meal.įly fishing for snook involves slowly poling down a calm shoreline looking for the subtle signs that a snook is there.

Snook sneak around almost everywhere there is water in Southwest Florida, and have a tendency to hide and ambush their prey.
