Fly Fishing Boston Harbor
Sight-cast striped bass against the city skyline. Boston fly fishing and light-tackle charters for stripers and bluefish, minutes from downtown, for every skill level, kids welcome.
The best striped bass fishing is right in the city's backyard
Boston Harbor and its plethora of islands, drop-offs and current-swept structure make a genuinely world-class striped bass fishery, and most anglers who fly in have no idea it's there. We do.
On a Boston fly fishing charter we chase early-morning blitzes, work the rips and flats around the Harbor Islands, and pick apart structure from the North Shore marshes down to the outer harbor. When the bass are up chasing bait against the skyline, it's about as good as inshore fishing gets.
Fly, light tackle, or bait, whatever gets you bent into a fish. First-timers welcome; if you've never thrown a fly line we'll have you casting and hooked up.
