Laguna Madre Fly Fishing & Light Tackle Guide
Welcome to rickhartmanfishing.com––home to some of the best flyfishing on the Texas coast. We specialize in sightcasting for redfish and trout with flyrod or with spin tackle. Our fishery is year round for redfish, trout, and snook. There are seasonal opportunities for tarpon and offshore species. We fish the 50+ miles of the Lower Laguna Madre, from the land cut north of Port Mansfield, to South Bay and the Brownsville Ship Channel near the resort community of South Padre Island. A short flight to Harlingen will put you within 25 miles of the ankle deep waters of the Laguna Madre. Whatever your fishing aspirations are, we are prepared to help you fulfill them.
