Fly fishing the lighted harbors of West Galveston Bay can be one of the most enjoyable and productive forms of fishing available on Texas' Upper Coast, and is the perfect trip for anglers of all skill levels. It is common to sneak within casting range of multiple schools of redfish or trout in just a few hours time, which are attracted to the schools of bait taking refuge in the lights. Since most of the lights in the harbors are submerged, the surrounding gamefish appear as dark shadows hovering in the clear green water, making perfect targets to sightcast to. The thrill of watching a small fly land softly in front of a silhouetted predatory gamefish is one that can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
