Saltwater flies, fly tying materials and saltwater fly fishing and tying information - your source on the internet.

In the middle of a boiling bluefish blitz off the coast of Nantucket...Casting to bonito ripping up bait in an inlet...Searching for seatrout and reds amidst the windswept beaches of the Outer Banks...To snook and tarpon lying near the tangled mangroves...In the glare and the pristine beauty of the bonefish flats...In the bluewater eddies of the Gulf Stream...In these magical places, and many others, the saltwater fly rodder plys his trade. In his hand, the coiled line, stripping, stripping, ready for the strike. At the end of the line, a fly; a feathered hook to tempt the most awesome denizens of the brine. Here at SaltwaterFlies.Com we hope to bring you some of saltwater fly fishing's finest moments, to help you fully enjoy your time both on and off the water. In our pages we hope to bring you features, articles, and information about this most intriguing of outdoor sports. Saltwater fly fishermen experience the most profound enjoyment of their sport, and this is the place to share your experiences, to find flies for your next trip, and to get advice and information from others who share your interests.
