Where’s the Best Saltwater Fly Fishing in the North-East?
Posted on May 8th, 2008
Ok gents, we have a request from a newcomer who wants to know where the best saltwater fly fishing can be found in the north east. I’ll start us off with one of my favorite spots, the deep water of Nantucket Sound; south side of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
When you’re getting started using saltwater flies, the Albies, Stripers and Blues close in make for a good day of fishing. Then once you’ve got the bug and crave a little more, the deeper water holds Thresher, Mako and Blue sharks that will give you the fight of a lifetime.
If you ask me, saltwater fly fishing is best wherever you happen to be, because it’s just plain fun. But if you have the time and money for a trip, Cape Cod saltwater fly fishing always makes for a great time and should be at least one destination in your future.
OK guys, let’s get some more hot-spots for our new friend here.

Fly Tying Vice Advice
Posted on May 7th, 2008
This is a tip for all you fly tiers out there. The Nor-Vise by Norlander has beaten every other vise I’ve used. And I’m pretty hard on them.
I’m turning out saltwater flies every night and weekend and it never quits or cramps up when spinning (it spins instead of just rotating) and has never missed a stop when I lock it into any of the four stop angles that make for very accurate flies.
I also like the fact that it’s American made and the quality is apparent from the very first use and every one after.

It’s All About Saltwater Flies…
Posted on May 6th, 2008
Saltwater flies have been a part of my life as long as I can remember. On Cape Cod, like so many costal areas, tying good saltwater flies is an art passed down from grandfather to father to son and so on.
Of course, much of how we tie our flies are closely guarded secrets but we all like to share a tip now and again - or at least a good fishing story. That’s why I started this blog. There’s nothing better than swapping stories with a new fishing buddy at the pier or over a cold one when the fish are stored happily in the cooler and your gear’s in for the night.
So anyway, this saltwater flies blog will have plenty of tips to keep you tying and stories to keep you entertained. Visit as much as you like and always feel free to leave a comment or make a posting. A lot of people who love tying and using saltwater fishing flies want to hear from you so don’t keep them waiting too long.
