Camping/Fishing on the Sound?
Hi all -
I'm thinking about heading down to LI Sound this weekend to do some blue/striper fishing.
I'll be fly-fishing with my 9wt, and thought I'd just pitch my tent for a night or two. I'd like to find a camping area in eastern Connecticut or Rhode Island with good shoreline access for flyfishing.
Anyone make any suggestions?
TIA
ED
PS: I would head out to the Cape, but that's a 4.5 hour drive from Albany, NY. Eastern Connecticut/Rhode Island should only be about 3 hours.

Burlingame
If I were you, I would go to Burlingame State Park in Charlestown RI. Great place to camp and loads of great fishing this time of year. If I were driving all the way from Albany, I would definitely go the extra distance and skip Hammonasset to fish Rhody.

Well, it's not that much further - difference of 2.5 hours to 3 hours.
I took a look at a road map....seems like the campground is "inland", but there's the normal "beach road" to get me to the shore. It also looks like some lagoons with inlets on either side...I suspect that would be a good spot!
How's the overall fishing in that area? Is the bottom more sandy, or more rocky?
And other info is helpful!
TIA
Ed
