Saltwater Sojourn

By Russell A. Graves

“Chasing redfish on the Texas Coast is like chasing big white-tails…  you know that they are out there but you may not always see them.” 

“The only way to find big reds is to get into their element - pole the flats and look for tails…”

“Seeing a tail break the surface of some flat, skinny water makes your heart race as your eyes try to focus on the spot.  Adrenaline in the blood can be an intoxicating sensation…”

“The real contest begins once the fish are spotted.  Seeing them is the easy part.  Getting out of the boat and stalking close enough to throw a fly in front of them…  Well, that’s another challenge altogether…”
