Web Site: www.captainericglass.com | This marks my 11th year as a full-time flats guide on the lower Laguna Madre. I moved to the Rio Grande Valley in 1986, after completing a degree in aquatic biology at Southwest Texas State University. I've been an avid fisherman since early childhood and learned to fly fish at the local golf course, of all places, when I was twelve or thirteen. Besides flats fishing, by both fly fishing and light tackle fishing, I enjoy trout and steelhead fishing, and have fished most of the western states over the past twenty-five years or so. When I'm not fishing, I enjoy chasing upland birds with Lucy, my liver and white Brittany. |

| Sight casting the Lower Laguna Madre flats is my passion preferably fly fishing or with light spinning tackle. Imagine seeing a redfish at 100 feet in less than 12" of clear water. The boat eases closer. The pressure builds, but you make your cast, and the clouser drops silently 3 feet from the red's nose. A gentle strip, and you watch the fish eat your well-presented fly. It's about now that you'll wonder who got hooked.
The successful approach to this moment requires expertise and stealthy equipment such as my Maverick HPX/T poling skiff. Reds, trout, and snook are our normal targets with occasional opportunities for Tarpon. Half or full day trips for 1-2 anglers are available March through November, departing from Island Outfitters on the island. All levels of fly-casting ability are welcome. Tackle available on request. |
