Striped Bass

Sexy Crab

Clawed monster: A crab pattern tied with a solid structure using extremely resistant materials but at the same time keeping it naturally looking and full of movement

Martin's Mundane Zonker Worm

Zonker: For many saltwater anglers the term "worm hatch" has a magical ring to it. When the polychaete worms swim freely to spawn, the fish usually go berserk, be it trout, stripers, tarpon or a number of other species. As one writer puts it: It's like yelling "free lunch" to a high school football team.

Sinister Phly

Area61: Another variation on large saltwater flies from the hands of Pete Gray. Mainly for striped bass, but useful for other specied too. This is the sinister version for fishing in darkness - or for dead drifting at O'dark thirty as Pete puts it.

PhuzzieNotions: They all start out as PhuzzieNotions [R&D ideas rattling around in Pete Gray's noggin and looking for a place to happen]... and then materialize into PharSidePhlyz. Saltwater flies can all start here and become almost anything.
Follow Pete Gray... if you can!

Skip to "Fly Fishing for Striped Bass"

Fly Fishing for Striped Bass

Book Review: Wild River Press, the publisher behind this and a other new books, is setting the bar extremely high for the genre of fly fishing information books, where the author doesn't offer a quick overview but rather an in depth master's course. "Fly Fishing for Striped Bass" continues that trend, and in doing so kicks it up a notch. The author simply blew my socks off.

Proceed to "Dual Tube Phlyz" here

Dual Tube Phlyz

Large: In an effort to entice larger striped muggers (stripers) during the spring herring run on Cape Cod when big fish venture back into the shallow estuaries to the herring runs, Pete Gray started tying 8-12+ inches herring flies on double tubes.

Find "Surf Candy" on this page

Surf Candy

Epoxied: Experimenting with epoxy might glue you to the tying bench for hours, days, weeks. You can make highly durable, translucent baitfish imitations using synthetics and epoxy. Some years ago Bob Popovic's book "Pop Fleyes" introduced Kasper Mühlbach to the Surf Candy.

"Fly Rodding the Coast by Ed Mitchell - review" is found here

Fly Rodding the Coast

Coaster: No doubt that Ed Mitchell is an authority on coastal fishing. His 2002 book "Fly Rodding the Coast" is a large volume on the art of fishing from the shoreline. It covers close to all aspects of this type of fishing.

Click to see "Stripers, An Angler's Anthology"

Striper anthology

Striper writings: My knowledge of the American striper heritage is not very profound, but I trust that the representatives of the literature that Waldman has chosen for his book Stripers, An Angler's Anthology are adequate. Read the full review here.

Click to go to "Merrimack River"

Merrimack River

During my self-introduction to flyrodding the salt, I went elsewhere. When I did, I looked to one place. The Merrimack River was that place. For me, that river has produced more decent fish and more exceptional fishing memories than most places on the east coast.

Albie and Bass Fly Fishing, Long Island, New York. This was one of those rare occasions when everything comes together for a great fishing day from the rocks. Early in the day we cast to albies (false albacore) and later in the day the bass (striped bass) showed up for an awesome feeding frenzy (blitz).

For graduation, my parents asked what I wanted. I said a fly fishing trip in my new home. Sara and I went fly fishing for striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay with Capt.

Go to Striper Moon

Striper Moon
This small book has made me a striper fan. The subtitle gave me the first hint that this would be interesting: 'Fly Fishing Techniques and Flies for Striped Bass in Estuary, River, Bay and Surf'. Being a salt water FF'er myself, any FF-title, that doesn't include the word 'stream' is interesting. Estuary, River Bay and Surf. I fish almost exclusively in bay and surf, and this kind of fishing seems little known elsewhere.it even says
