In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, we kick off a brand new solo series diving into the wild world of fly fishing beyond trout. Whether you’re looking to shake things up or just want to explore the full potential of your fly rod, this series is all about spotlighting the alternative species worth chasing—from coast to creek.
Today we take a look at Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and New England, breaking down the non-trout species you should absolutely have on your radar. We’re talking about aggressive strikes, strong fights, and unforgettable settings—from lowcountry backwaters to coastal flats and rocky New England shores.
Species we highlight in this episode include:
Florida: Peacock bass, snook, and Mayan cichlids
North Carolina: Redfish, bowfin, and river bass
South Carolina: Tailing reds, carp, and lowcountry gar
New England: Striped bass, pickerel, and smallmouth in cold water streams
Whether you’re a trout angler looking to branch out or a new fly fisher in search of overlooked targets, this series is for you.
Plus, I’ll share some fly recommendations, gear tips, and the kinds of environments these fish call home.
