[Sean hh]

Hey all, what flies are good to use in the st lucia estuary off one of the wooden piers over the river?

and do i need a permit to fish there.

Thanks

Hi Sean,

Firstly yes you need a permit! you can get one from the post office.

Secondly fishing off the jetties aren't the best places to fish, but if you need to you might pick a springer up on a 2/0 clouser minnow in olive over white that is sparsely tied, it has worked well for me in the estuary.

I dont know how experienced you are or what setup you have, but you are more likely to get some wave garrick in the surf zone around the main beach with a small white crazy charlie or small minnow pattern. To be honest I would rather pay the entrance fee to go to cape vidal for the day than fish st lucia.

Good Luck!
