  1. My question is: If price wasn’t a factor what rod/reel combo would you go with for a saltwater fly rod and reel for stripers in the 8-10 wt range? (Price is a factor with me, and for almost everyone out there, but just curious to find out what people’s dream setup would be.)
  2. Thanks for the tips. Any concern about tropical line in the colder water temps out here?
  3. I know there's no shortage of fly line recommendation posts, but I wanted to share specifically what I was looking for, and see if anyone had some feedback. I fish predominately on the East End of Long Island. Hamptons, Montauk, North Fork, etc. There's a variety of water I fish in from flats, to saltwater creeks, to back bays, to the ocean surf. I understand there may be not be a "best line" for all these scenarios. I currently have an airflo striper 9 wt intermediate, it's fine don't think I love it. I am looking for a floating line now, think it's best for what I'm trying to do in most cases. I asked a couple local guides and they recommended tropical bonefish type lines, and I get why when you're polling on the flats up here those could be a good choice. I also read an article where Popovics recommends a Rio Intouch Outbound. Anyone have any thoughts?
  4. Hey everyone, Like many of you have some extra downtime with what’s going on lately. Any advice for getting started on tying saltwater flies? I don’t have any of the equipment/supplies yet, so starting from scratch, but eager to get going. Thanks.
  5. First stripers of the year for me in the back creeks during a worm hatch
  6. Hey everyone, Looking for feedback on best tides to fish while wading inshore for stripers. I’ve had some luck, but just trying to identify when I’ll have the most luck. Thanks for the insights.
  7. Alexandra Resort right on Grace Bay. Excited!
  8. Hey everyone, Wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a guide to use for bonefish in Turks. I’m headed there in late March, and any advice you may have would be really appreciated.
  9. Hey everyone, I’m going to be out on the South Fork (East Hampton) and Montauk a bunch over the next couple months. Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
  10. Mostly smaller tarpon. I have hired a guide.
  11. Hi everyone, I am planning a trip to Isla Blanca in Mexico next month, and I wanted to see if anyone had any advice. Specifically, I would like to know what flies you think might be successful, and the best place to buy flies for the trip. Any other advice on gear is welcomed too. I am fairly new to fly fishing (but have been fishing salt my whole life), but I've taught myself to cast pretty well in a fairly short period of time. Thanks in advance for the help.
  12. I'm aware he was initially talking about the bay, but the sound is more productive this time of year.
  13. I buy a yearly beach sticker, but you can get daily ones I believe. Not sure of the cost.
  14. The fishing on the Long Island Sound of the North Fork can be quite good at times.
  15. There's action in the fall on the LI Sound beaches.
  16. That's great that Patagonia stands behind their gear like that.
