Melbourne

The Melbourne/CoCoa area is situated on the east coast of central Florida. Straddling the indian River estuary, this area offers many opportunities for flyfishers.

Tarpon are year round residents of the brackish creeks and canals flowing into the indian river.

Snook wait in ambush around the mangrove shorelines, piers and channels for the forage fish produced in this estuary.

Seatrout and ladyfish (relative of the tarpon) are abundant in the improving grass flats in the Indian River.

This area features flyfishing for huge Redfish. They are found throughout the Indian River and Banana River.

Out in the surf, pompano, snook(in season) drum and sheepshead can be taken with the flyrod.

Offshore, Dolphin, Cobia, Bluefish & other are possibilities for the flyrodder with special techniques.

Just a short drive inland, the St. Johns River flows northward connecting to many lake and waterways. This freshwater system draws fishers worldwide to try their luck on the Bass of legendary size.
