Flyfishing for mullet

[EchoDuck Jr.]

Has anybody tried it?? i read about it in a saltwater flyfishing book, was just curious.

I've caught mullet with small soft plastics. I believe they were green grub types. Maybe a fly that is green like algae would work.

i hooked some by accident ...them suckers can fight

I heard a coffee bean works well but it is natural bait glued to a hook.

Wow, the fishing may be tough if we are actually talking about targeting mullet with rod and reel. LOL

Haven't tried it myself, but I certainly am not above it! One of my best fish on fly ever was about a 15 pound carp on a tiny 3wt fly rod.

Here's a link to guy in England that obviously takes his mullet fishing very seriously:

Here's another from the Florida Sportsman (http://www.floridasportsman.com/flyfishing/FF_0202_Mullet/index1.html) site:

If you Google "Flyfishing for mullet" you'll find these and at least several more.

LOL, I guess I know what we will be doing when all the specks, reds, and flounder are gone.

One of the guys at Anglers Edge; forget his name, swears by it.

They also do guided trips on Buffalo Bayou.

Joe Doggett did a piece 5-6 years ago about fly fishing for Carp on Braes Bayou. I used to put in 20-40 miles a day on the Bike trail, and tehre are lots of big ones around the Hillcroft bridge many days. I saw a guy using a spinning rod several times, and one day helped him change out a flat tire on his bike. He told me he caught 6-8 a trip and ate them! I told him I would rather catch & release; too may treatment plants upstream from the area.
