Guided Fly Fishing Trips
TARGET SPECIES
We target Striped Bass all summer, with occasional opportunities for Bluefish.
METHODS
Rising Tide Anglers offers a variety of fishing methods. Our specialty is technical sight fishing in shallow water for Striped Bass. Chasing blitzing fish early in the morning can be very productive, or try blind casting flies along the rocky shoreline outside the river with sinking lines for cruising fish. We also offer light tackle gear upon request.
BEST TIMES TO FISH
Stripers typically arrive early to mid May, and the most consistent fishing is June and July. Our fishery can be strong into the end of Septemer depending on the season.
