Fly Fishing for Redfish in Texas' Laguna Madre

Welcome to Laguna Madre Outfitters, owned and operated by Capt. Ben Paschal. I specialize in fly fishing for redfish on Texas’ Lower Laguna Madre. My goal is to provide a safe, successful, and educational day on the water to anglers of all skill sets, in one of the most unique fisheries on the planet.

Texas

I guide fly fishers on South Texas’ Lower Laguna Madre for redfish and trout, among other species. Centrally located in the Lower Laguna Madre bay system, either in Arroyo City and Port Mansfield my fishing clients stay in turn-key waterfront rental homes 45 minutes from the airport where I provide dockside pick-up by skiff each morning.

Texas

Louisiana

From late December to early March, I relocate to the Louisiana marsh where I guide fly fishers to trophy bull redfish in the 15-40 pound class. The Louisiana marsh, outside of New Orleans, is an expansive estuary that provides excellent opportunities to sightcast massive bull redfish on the fly all winter long. The size of the fish is what separates the Louisiana Marsh from other redfish locations.

Laguna Madre Outfitters is owned and operated by Capt. Ben Paschal.

Ben was raised in Texas where he picked up a fly rod at age eleven, began tying flies at age thirteen, and has been employed as a fly fishing guide since age 19. 2024 marks his 18th year guiding professionally. In addition to a degree in Agricultural Economics and Entrepreneurship from Texas A&M, Capt. Ben Paschal draws from guiding experience in Alaska, Argentina, Chile, Colorado, Louisiana, and Texas. Winter of 2023/2024 Ben will be guiding in Texas during winter months due to a growing family. In his spare time he enjoys outdoor photography, exploring new fisheries, hunting the beautiful South Texas brush country with a bow, and smoking BBQ. He lives in South Texas with his wife and three dogs.
