We had a lot of anglers hook up this year, but not many were ready to handle 30+ pounds on the fly rod. More then a few fish over 40 (maybe over 50) were lost on the fly. And a few were landed.
Not sure when your customer will be in the area, but if there's big fish around we can put you on them with a fly rod. It's something we specialize in. Our boats are set up for fly-fishing and light tackle. Usually to get the bigger fish we tease them up with big plugs and swap in a fly. It'll blow his mind to see a 40lber come up and try to destroy a Beachmaster Needle with no hooks on it and then to throw a fly in front of that fish. Obviously certain time frames during the season are better then others.
We're based in Newport, RI. Give us a call if you're interested or have any questions.
All our guides are great people as well, he'll definitely have a good time.
The bass at the bottom of this report was the most recent 40+ on the fly this year.
