That doesn’t mean you have to invent a pattern that the fish have never seen before to fool them on days when flies from the bins at the fly shop won’t.Mar 12th, 2020

Back Bay Finesse For Striped Bass
Some of the best fishing of the early season takes place in the skinny waters of the salt marsh. As the water is shallower, everything is magnified. The importance of tidal stage, sun, and even the color and composition of the bottom are exaggerated.

Fly anglers are as attracted to their flies as fish are, and in some cases, can be even more attracted to them than the fish. There are a wide variety of flies available for anglers, and selecting from the array can be complicated. There are different colors, sizes, and materials. There are weighted flies and unweighted flies. So, what are the best flies? The simple answer is: it depends.Spring Striped Bass Run the Hudson River
