I know most if not all say to fish the beaches at an hour prior to an hour after high tide. But what about the mouths of rivers and that part of the river that is affected by the high/low tides? Is this what is called the Estuary area, the part affected by the tides?
I plan on fishing these waters in 2002 for each species of fish, if time allows, and have several questions. Does the strategy for different species change as regard to high low waters? I also read some where that when the tide comes in the salt/brackish water is on top and the heavier fresh water from the river is at the bottom, is this true? and how does this affect the fish coming in? are they higher in the salt water or lower like they are further up the rivers once they acclimate to the freshwater? Any suggestion on older issues of magazines to find or good books on this subject? I have heard of the book "The Estuary Fly Fisherman" by Steve Raymond and plan on buying it but are there others? Thank you, Ray :-)
