Saltwater Fly Fishing Adventure
One of the first American anglers who was known to pursue saltwater fly fishing was A. W. Dimmock. He is well known for his work, ‘The Book of the Tarpon,’ published in 1911, but he introduced saltwater fly fishing in 1908. It was inscribed in an article called ‘Salt-Water Fly Fishing,’ which was published in the magazine ‘Country Life in America.’ in the same year.
Homer Rhode, incidentally, took bonefish to new heights in saltwater fly fishing for Pacific salmon was about as popular as it ever was going to be by the mid-thirties. It might have become more popular had it not been for the beginning of the the Second World War.
Saltwater fly fishing across the Northeast region has been strong and steady this year. Large fish are being taken on the Jersey shore, around the metro area and Jamaica Bay and out east. The surf at Mont Auk area is quite productive and cool temps have made the flats really fruitful. Certainly the Falls gets more of the glory, in terms of best times of year to fish, but Springtime presents some of the finest fishing places for large fish and there are definitely lesser boats on the water. So far, this spring season was pretty good and many are frequently amazed by the lack of pressure these fish are getting. Silversides remained a plenty out east after a dreary squid run and sand eel reports have started to trickle in from across the region.
There are many charters that can take you on saltwater fly fishing. The prices are some what indicative of the time of the year that you take it, the size of the boat and motor, while some will bend the price depending on the number of fisherman that will be attending the excursion. You can usually check online on the internet for the price or make a phone call to their location.
