What are the top reasons to fly-fish at Bay Flats Lodge?

• Experience world-class accommodations and cuisine.
• Sight cast to schools of tailing redfish in ankle-deep, gin-clear water.
• Travel pristine Matagorda Island as you stalk redfish along 38 miles of uninhabited shorelines teaming with hundreds of species of birds, alligators, deer, and various other wildlife.
• Cast from the bow of deluxe technical poling skiffs, eyes peeled for the tell-tale sign of a feeding redfish.
• Discover a uniquely diverse fishery located along the middle coast of Texas.

Where will I fish?

To our southeast is Matagorda Island, presenting mile upon mile of shorelines, back lakes, and slough areas offering some of the most unique sight casting opportunities anywhere along the Gulf Coast. To our northeast is the Guadalupe River Delta, consisting of marshland lakes and grassy shorelines unlike anything you may have ever swum a fly.

Who is best suited for our fly-fishing experience?

Fly-fishing anglers with average to expert levels of experience will be right at home at Bay Flats Lodge. Winds can blow 15-20 mph on any given day, so those fly-fishing anglers who can single-haul and/or double-haul accurately while using a 7, 8, or 9 weight fly-rod will be most comfortable in this environment.

What is a typical day like?

A typical day is 8 hours, which includes travel to and from the fishing grounds. Typically, in the heat of summer, there is a mid-morning and mid-afternoon break to rehydrate, and an approximate 30-minute break for lunch. A couple of the guides may even provide music while you enjoy your lunch.

Fishing is good year-round, with spring (March, April, May, June), late summer and fall having more consistent weather patterns. In the fall (October and November), fish are actively feeding on shrimp and other bait as they fatten up for winter. During wintertime, the uncertainty of predicting cold fronts pushing through the middle coast of Texas is undoubtedly the biggest challenge. When frontal passages do occur, lower tides tend to concentrate the redfish, and fishing can be on fire.

We have over 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy after an awesome hunt or epic fishing day. Gather around the fire pits, our huge outdoor kitchen, the cornhole courts, or relax at our smaller common areas. We also have meeting and conference rooms available for corporate groups.

Bay Flats Lodge is located in the middle portion of the Texas coast along the shores of San Antonio Bay just outside the small fishing town of Seadrift, TX. Our address is 391 Bayside Dr., Seadrift, TX, 77983.

If you’re traveling from outside of Texas, or even from far west Texas or the Texas panhandle, you will need to fly to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, or to Corpus Christi. Houston offers both the George Bush Intercontinental Airport and the William P. Hobby Airport, both of which require an additional 3-hour drive to the Lodge. Austin and San Antonio offer the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and the San Antonio International Airport, respectively. And, again, each will require an additional 3-hour drive to the Lodge. CCIA – Corpus Christi International Airport is a closer option, which only requires an additional 1.5-hour drive to the Lodge.
