In the decade before Galveston Fishing Company opened, Owner and Guide Captain Eric Trout had been noticing more and more anglers coming to fly fish and sight-cast in the Galveston Bay complex. As the number of anglers and guides increased, it became evident to him that a shop was needed to serve the growing community.

Galveston-area anglers have diverse opportunities to fish the regions’ salt waters by foot, kayak, or boat.  In addition to the quintessential shallow water fishing in the bays, there are 32 miles of public beach surf fishing; numerous public piers, jetties, and docks; and a state park that provides access to both the bay and gulf side of the island.
