Captain KT’s Fly Fishing
Guide Service
Join Captain KT on a Fishing
Adventure of a Lifetime!
Fish with the Host of the Texas-Based Fly-Fishing
Television Series The KT Diaires
Looking for a unique fishing experience? Join television personality
and real-life outdoor guide, Kevin “KT” Townsend, on a
personalized fly-fishing adventure? In 2006, Captain KT relocated
from the Green River in Utah and the Rocky Mountains back to his native
state and is now based on the Texas Gulf Coast.
Depart from the Texas Gulf City of Port
O’Connor
KT is now booking fly-fishing or light tackle trips out of Port O’Connor,
Texas. The shallows of the Matagorda, Espiritu Santo, and San Antonio
bay systems provide year round world-class sight-fishing opportunities
for redfish and the occasional trout. The redfish populations have
never been higher.
From Mackerel
to the Silver King
As the water temperature rises in the Spring, migratory blue water
species such as the King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Tuna, Jack Crevalle,
and the Silver King of the ocean, the Tarpon, begin to make their
way into the in-shore waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Hooking a Tarpon
Tarpon numbers are on the rise in Texas, and Port O’Connor is
known for producing trophy tarpon in shallow water. KT jumped on a
fly-rod 41 tarpon in 2006. Almost all were over 100 pounds. The patient
and determined angler will be rewarded with the angling experience
of a lifetime. The sight of a blinding Silver King leaping, greyhounding
or tail-walking its way to Mexico with your fly in her mouth is a
sight not soon forgotten.
The Details
Trips begin at first-light looking for rolling tarpon or tailing redfish.
From there you have many options depending on your fishing preferences
and the weather conditions of the day. Your adventure might be one
of the following thrills:
• Poling the flats
in search of Redfish and Trout
• Wade-fishing the flats
• Blind-casting guts and cuts
• Chasing schools of bait-crushing
Jack Crevalle
• Mackerel and Tuna busting bait-balls
in the Gulf
• Sight-casting to schools of
rolling Tarpon
• Blind-casting the jetties for
everything that swims
From the most seasoned to the raw beginner, there is
something for everyone. KT loves to introduce the novice to nature’s
awesome experiences. All are welcome.
