Fishing on the Fly...

By: Capt. Hap Farrell

On Tuesday, the 3 rd of June, I took a friend of mine out to help me check out a few areas to see if there were any fish there. The second area we check, which will remain a secret for now, we took a 35 inch striper. Next we went over to the edge of the Brewster Flats so Leo could see if he could land a small bass with his fly rod. Leo, an avid and accomplished fly fisherman is a purist. No trolling the fly. We worked around a number of active schools of these small bass. He was unable to land one of them. Instead he hooked up on and landed a nice 29 inch fish which will be his dinner that night.

If you'd like to learn about this style of fishing, which can be very rewarding, go down to the Goose Hummock and see Garret who will set you right up.
