Anglers can expect to catch redfish, trout, and black drum, along with seasonal tarpon and snook.  The Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River are true world-class fisheries with amazing shallow water sight casting to schools of tailing redfish, with the possibility of a record catch up to 40lbs!  Many of these trophy fish are residents of the lagoon year round.  It is easy to see how Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River has earned the reputation of the “Redfish Capital of the World”
