Joey, if you are talking about Orange Beach, Alabama, here is the place.
The Wharf 4985 Wharf Parkway Orange Beach, AL thewharfal.com 251-224-1009 Robby Walker, director of fishing They are an Orvis endorsed fly shop and have a full guide service. I stopped there last year and picked up several fly patterns for fishing in Wolf Bay while we are there for the month of February. For a look at their website, go to the Orvis home page, then look up Orvis Endorsed Outfitters, click on Alabama on the map. Then you can click on the web page for the outfitter. Very helpful and courteous. Good luck. Old Trout

This is great! I thought I would never get to see the beach again! Now, I need to get Barry to read this and then come up with the idea of going to Orange
Beach to fly fish. Did I really type that out loud? ha ha
Joey, please be sure and post all about your trip!! |

Another Fly shop in that area is the Fairhope Fly Shop. Fairhope is on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. Spencer Johnson is the proprieter and he has several
guides that he recomends and a large selection of flies, etc. 14 South Church St., Phone #251-928-1619. Gulf Shores area is like our second home. We just
returned from the Ft. Morgan end of that beach.(see trip report in Places of Interest, this forum) Great fishing. Have a good trip.

My dad has a place in Perdido Key, so I get down there a few times a year. Shark fishing off the beach is my thing, it's crazy! Last time I was down
there I caught and released an 8-9 foot bull shark. I swim in the pool!
If you want to catch some fish and don't care what they are, head down to the pass at night and catch some lady fish. Fish under those lights. If the lady fish are in you'll see what I mean. I use those lady fish for shark bait. Any light colored fish pattern will work. Those fish are about all a 5 wt rod can handle. |

joey---i used a capt mo shaver last time i was down there, we night fished around the docks on ono island, stripping decievers and crazy charlies---fast strips would get you in the specs, let it set awhile, ie: deeper, and pick up bull reds, it's fun---capt mo #251-979-1523 |

Thanks for the recommendations all...looking forward to it.
cfowler...it is fun getting into a school of lady fish. A couple of years ago I got into a huge school of lady fish and for two hours had a blast. I literally had a line of dads and sons, probably 20 deep. I would cast and then hand them the rod. It was a blast. Joey |

the ladyfish show up at the pass at night because the tide is sucking all the shrimp out of the intercoastal waters, they show up for the buffet---check your
tidal times, sometimes it may be 11 p.m. before it happens, but you can't strip a fly fast enough to get it past a ladyfish, we usually join the ladyfish
catching shrimp, we have about a 10 ft dip net, you can get 5 or 10 lbs of varied sizes of shrimp all along the walls below the bridge at perdido
pass---between catching the ladyfish, and netting shrimp it's a real hoot----good times
