Fly fishing for stripers is another thing.

I am the worlds worst fly fisherman. Gone around the country and Canda fly fishing. And am the worst fly tyer you will ever meet. They had a fly tyer swap here one year and probably still do and I presented a fly and I would bet that no one would think of using it. The bottom line is that I would catch fish. Charteuse is the key to catching stripers. I do the opposit of what the pros tell ya to do, I slap the water, poor presentation and I use only a Orvis depth charge full sinking line regardless if I'm in 3 feet of water or 40 feet of water. And where do you get most of your strikes? if you pay attention to where your line is most of your strikes come in the white water crashing on the rocks. So why do shore fisherpersons try to cast to the open ocean. You should cast diagnally to the shore.
