Striper Fishing 101 for Rookies
I'm a fly fishing guide on Utah's Provo River, but this is my first time visiting the East coast. I want to do some striper fishing while I'm here. Any good places close to Brockton? Are there any good opportunities from shore this time of year? Anyone wanna get together and show me the ropes? Any tips would be great! Thanks!

Try checking in with the Bear's Den Fly shop in Taunton Ma. It is a bit early but some guy's are into fish (not me).
Enjoy your stay. |
Will you be fly fishing or surf casting?
The smaller fish will be here (if not already) and the larger ones will be here soon enough, so here is ALWAYS the possibility of getting a stiper. It's mostly a matter of when and where you go. Good luck! |
Agree with Tim, when exactly are you looking to go? Now in a couple/few weeks, later this summer?
|
How long you here for?

Why near Brockton? Notice my signature file.
I brought a fly guy from Oregon out last year for stripers and blues....he seemed to like it! |

Something smells fishy. Maybe I'm paranoid but be careful Phil.

you are paranoid cappa - just an out of town guy looking to catch a few fish. i've done it a half dozen times in other parts of the country

Sorry, I guess I watch the news everyday and just get worried about how many bad people are out there. Bassnewbie no offense as obviously I don't know you. I'll go back to my bunker...............:smash:
|
If I go out again this week I will pm you. Plenty of fish but they are the size of my foot. You can always try to flyfish for tog......

BassNewbie will get to experience Buzz Bay tomorrow! Wish him luck, maybe we'll even find a tog.....
All you fly guys should try to network with Gil while he's in the area this week! He has a great website.:uhuh: |
pretty cool of you guys to hook him up!
|
Don't I feel like an Ass now!!! :smash: Have fun while you're out here! Lot of good guys on this site and as you can see by my stupid post, we try to look out for one another!
|
Here's the site. I cracked up reading your John Voight encounter in the Utah Fly Fishing blog. Have fun while you're out here. You're hooking up with the right guy. Well hopefully "hooking up"!! :fishin:
I've never fished UT but have ski'd Park City, the Canyons, Snowbird, and Alta. Beautiful country out there. Gil Fly Fishing |
I just want to send out a quick thanks for all the info, and especially to Phil for taking me along today showing me the ropes of the East coast. Phil is the MAN! You are all very lucky to live here especially with the fishery you have. Tight lines and I'll hopefully be back soon!
|
Nice work Phil!
|
Well howd it go? Phil put you on some fish?:nopics:
|
BassNewbie will have to post pictures, he had his camera out all day (HINT: Gil all those pictures of the cute, little, furry seals you took...might be wise to NOT post them here, show them to your wife, kids, family, and friends in Utah.:rotf2:) Found some birds working early. Showed him our saltwater bait (macs) is bigger than most of his Utah freshwater stream trout! Finder screen was lit up all day, but only had one hit on a live/trolled mac. Wouldn't take anything else we threw at them.
