Going to Port St. Joe , Florida in June and need some help on the most popular flies to throw for saltwater fish. I have tied up a lot of clousers but need to know what flies most anglers throw for saltwater. Any information will help.( Name , Websites, ETC) /

Zack-
We'll be glad to help, but could you give us a more specific info on what fish you are targeting? I fished a lot of flats in the Carib. so I believe I have some knowledge that I can share. And how will you be fishing?
Thanks

VIP poppers, crease flies, ep baitfish, clousers, shrimp patterns, merkins and seaducers. That should have all your basics covered. Make sure to bring some sinking lines just in case.
