Fly Fishing the Texas Coast, especially for red drum?

Recently, my travels find me in Houston, Texas. I am a beginner when it comes Fly fishing in saltwater and Christmas Bay was mentioned as a good starting point and an easy place to connect a red drum (for easy, non am sure if you mean most likely to win or guaranteed, but I is not the last). Can anyone give me some advice on fly fishing for red drum especially in relation to the local fly has proven its effectiveness and places? Actually, any advice would be much appreciated when it comes to fishing fly the Texas coast in general. I plan to start with red drum, but would love to go there. Besides, I think it is vital that you inform the practice CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY. After all, if I ask my fellow angle to give up some of their secrets and destiny, I think it is fair that I pledge to you that the fish will still be there to take for himself the next time you go fishing!

You have some good answers already, especially in terms of weight of cane and destinations. Here are my 2 cents. I have fished in the Gulf as far as Pensacola, FL-AL. Although, I do not know a good story for you to read in TX flys I know that you want to buy for your trip. The 3 flys important "to zero" in the Reds when they are conducting, specifications Trout, Flounder and Spanish Mack is: 1. Clouser Minnows-The best colors-Chartruese, Chartruese / white, white / Crystal Flash, Green / Gold flashabou, Gold / Red flashabou. Clousers are inexpensive (compared to other flies saltwater), the ride with the hook of "up" to get fewer drawbacks, and appeal to a variety of saltwater creatures. 2. Any epoxy "Spoon-fly" – Golden-Spoon-Flys are an "obvious" fly! Mix slowly out and bring in are especially deadly in the Reds! Go to eBay and check the area of fishing to see what they look like. They work well but are expensive ($ 4 – $ 6). 3. Epoxy "Poppers" – White / red, green / red, etc. Specifications are deadly on trout and Spanish Mac! The prospect of losing them, ESP, if not using a "no" see'm wire leader. If you only have these 3 flies in several sizes that would be covered in most saltwater species. (Although, you may want to add a McCrab Umpqua, some Crazy Charlie, glass minnow streamers and some Bendbacks as it should be "in" sport.) Clouser can be fished at any depth. Spoonflys work well in "grass", flats situations. And poppers are great for cruising on the grass, oyster bar, Etc. If I were you, I would look for bridges and flats adjacent to the Gulf. Any stream which empties into the Gulf "flush" bait / feed and output. I could begin my "future" there. Check the bottom before Puttin 'on its Wade's team. Some of the areas will be too muddy. Watch for birds and schools of bait (small binoculars are useful for exploration of areas). If you find birds / bait schools, Reds / trout not be far off! I hope this helps in some way? Good luck!
