Homosassa Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Homosassa

Homosassa is hallowed ground for fly anglers — its spring and early-summer tarpon migration along the shallow Gulf flats produced some of the biggest fly-caught fish in history. Outside of tarpon season it's a quiet backwater fishery of redfish and trout over grass and oyster, fed by the constant 72° flow of the Homosassa River. Light winds and clear water are everything for sight-fishing these flats.

Local tip: Low, clear water on a calm morning is prime for spotting tarpon and tailing reds.
