At Fly Guy Fish Guides, we got into guiding to give more opportunities to anglers to get out there on fly and light tackle. At the same time we understand the costs for a private charter can be prohibitively expensive, and will limit access for many people – especially those new to the sport or

I’m excited to announce a new experience for the 2019 season! Fly fishing has its fair share of terminology, specialty gear, techniques, and required skills just to break into the sport confidently. Let us help you cut through the confusion and get down to what’s needed to get you to a competent saltwater fly angler
You may have notice there was a pretty big gap in fishing reports and postings. We took a family trip to Iceland for a couple weeks to get away and explore the area. Iceland is an absolutely beautiful place and surreal in many ways. You can go from rolling hills of purples flowers, grass fields,
I can’t wait for the sunny days, warmer temperatures, and fun times fishing! On this first official day of spring 2018 and the fourth nor’easter in the last couple weeks bearing down on us, we’ve been busy coordinating just some of what is required for the 2018 season.

I was introduced to Bob Popovics’ Hollow Fleye by a good friend Collin. We showed up to target stripers on the fly and he brought along his 10w rigged with some gigantic 10″+ beautiful flies in bunker color schemes. Little did we know how much interest these fleyes would garner from the striper bass that
Decided to take a break from guiding and travel to head down to the cape with the family for Father’s day. With a toddler running around, I only got a couple hours of fishing total across the weekend – but they ended up being pretty productive! Saturday morning I decided to explore some new spots
Nothing gets the adrenaline pumping like watching a fish blow up on your topwater lure or fly. The same rush that attracts freshwater trout fly anglers presenting dry flies also attracts saltwater anglers targeting stripers. Here are some tactics, lure/fly selections, and presentations that are deadly for topwater action with stripers or bluefish. Light Tackle:
