Fly Fishing

Pierrot

Bonjour

My name is Pierrot (Pea ro). I live in the province of Quebec Canada.

I am planing a week vacation in the month of may (22 to 29) in Wells.

I would like to fish the strippe bass. This must be a beautiful experience.

I am a ''meature'' fly fisherman. I have experience in salmon fishing, blue trout (imature sea trout), small bass and nothern Pike.

Can someone could give me the ABc on strippe bass fishing

Merci

Pierrot

Pierrot,
I live in Wells. By the end of May the small stripers should be in the rivers in good numbers. The Mousam River in Kennebunk, just a few miles from Wells, is a hot spot. Fish the last couple of hours of the outgoing tide at the river mouth. A 7or 8 weight rod with sinking line to get you down in the current would work best. Can't go wrong with a clouser at the end.
Wells Harbor will also hold fish. Again the out going tide is best. Fish the Drakes Island side of the jetty. There is a parking lot there. Fish off the sandy point towards the harbor. It is almost a must to have waiters unless you fish off the jetty.
I run a par 3 golf course in Wells and also guide. Stop in and talk fishing. I may be able to help you out. Ask for Donny. Good luck.
