Yesterday was a @mastersofthefly day out here on the East End with @finandfly @tkos5250 and yours truly.
Here we are each releasing a bass.
It was a perfect sight fishing day with blue skies clear water and light winds.

Inspired by @jonnyzking working on my squid game Kinky Muddler style. Thanks to Chris @saltwaterflies for the materials. Gamakatsu 3/0 with a 35mm shank for length and articulation. SF Blend. #mastersofthefly

Had a great day of sight fishing for stripers and finning blues last week with @davidblinken of @mastersofthefly (sadly @finandfly wasn’t able to join us but was off catching giants on squid). David had these cool little Hollow Deceiverish flies with splayed tails, like a tarpon fly but with skinny flatwing saddles. They were simple, sparse and beautiful and swam just right for shallow water fishing. So I tied some with little Kinky Muddler heads up front and the splayed tail and added a collar. Should be good for NE flats plus I bet for snook and tarpon in the mangroves. Thanks David! #fluefiske #flugfiske #striperfishing #saltwaterflyfishing #saltwaterflytying #stripers #bluefish #kinkymuddler #tarpononfly #snook

As we kick off the 2022 season here in the Northeast, four guides covering the waters from northern Mew Jersey to Martha’s Vineyard tell you what to expect this year, and what’s already happening in each of their local waters. Watch the stream recording on our YouTube channel! Link in our bio!

For anyone who missed it, you can catch the replay of our session with @jamesprosek on our YouTube channel (link in bio). Some amazing stories behind his paintings, including a great one about finding the elusive blue swordfish! Enjoy!

A huge thanks to all of you who wrote letters in support of Amendment 7 and everyone who attended the hearing. We are thrilled at the outcome. It’s a historic moment for striped bass conservation. Thank you @saltwaterguidesassociation for your tireless leadership on behalf of us all. #mastersofthefly

Ever since the Amendment 7 process started almost two years ago, we’ve worked tirelessly to achieve a conservation-minded outcome—and we’ve been cautiously optimistic.
We are thrilled to announce that the Striped Bass Management Board just approved Amendment 7 with almost all of our preferred alternatives.
This is an amazing outcome for striped bass and all the fishing communities and businesses that depend on them. The stock is now on the right path toward a sustainable and abundant future.
Thank you to all of you for getting involved and to the many members of the Striped Bass Board for listening to the angling public!
As always, more to come from our team as we move forward on this journey together.
