6-ounce behemoth was landed and released by fly angler Bud Rowland.Īlong with its well-earned reputation for mammoth-sized speckled trout, the Laguna Madre is equally famous for its population of oversized “bull” redfish. It was in fact during the late spring spawn that the most recent Texas State record speck – a 37.25-inch, 15-pound.
Once the water temperature reaches the upper 60s, speckled trout begin to move out of the deeper water and onto the flats in a pre-spawn pattern to gorge themselves on finger mullet and menhaden in preparation for the upcoming spawn.
Spring, however, presents a unique scenario for the fly angler to tangle with large sow trout – in some cases very large trout. Much like the other three seasons, the primary targets on the Texas flats are redfish and spotted seatrout.
