Redfish can be found and targeted on the fly from the Carolinas all the way around Florida and through the Texas coast, but there has not existed many, if any one - stop - shop locations for fly anglers, or any anglers for that matter until now. A place that combines an amazing fishery, dedicated knowledgeable guides, comfortable if not luxury accommodations, tasty homestyle meals, and a friendly staff. These are things we look for when we travel to fish, or to recommend to those anglers traveling with us at the fly shop. Bay Flats Lodge in Seadrift Texas checks each one of those criteria and more.

Seadrift Texas in the grand scheme of destination fly fishing trips is easy to get to. Fly in to either Houston, Austin or San Antonio, scoop a rental car and in about 2.5 hours you will spot the ocean and arrive at the lodge. Accomodations vary from cozy and comfortable two bed style rooms to entire deluxe houses with ocean views and plenty of room to spread out, all depending on your party size. Two anglers to 10, Bay Flays Lodge has you covered. All room options are circled around the main lodge building where amazing breakfasts and dinners are prepared as a part of your stay. The food is very good, but the staff really stand out as a huge reason you will want to go back as soon as you leave.
