New to the Houston area and looking to find some fly fishin' buddies. Anyone? Areas to fish? Do I really have to get waders? I relocated here from Florida, so I am used to super blue waters. Wanna go?
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum. I haven't seen anything on the Houston area. Have you posted on the Texas forum also??
I hope that you can find some people in your area. You might check with the sporting goods stores for information on clubs there.

im from texas but moving to utah havent started fly fishing but i guess you fish salt and brackish i can share a couple of my favorite spots to fish for slot and bull reds(specs too).
google map
beach drive, Texas City, TX
you will see some water ways when you zoom in on the map. i like to fish around here
if you head down to the very end of that road you will hit where moses lake mets the bay(good fishing there too).
another gem is in san leon, tx
bayshore park, san leon, tx google map it.
looking at the map on the left you will see the waterway go inland park at the park and walk under the bridge and go upstream. you can get some good reds there.
i also get my bait mullet and shrimp here mostly.
another place in galveston is seawolf park. usually good trout and flounder fishing here.

If you are still around, I loved fishing the straight in Galveston. That is the little area between Galveston University and the Mainland side. There are some nice Drum and Seatrout in that area. Perfect for a 5wt or 7wt and some Boomer line. Better than that is the 13'6" Spey Rod with Albino Wooly Buggers, Boomer line. I like to tie 10 wraps of .025 lead wire on the shank of the hook ot give some neutral bouyancy to the fly.
