Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} June 15-20 Chatham MA

You can't get directly to Monomoy Island yourself. You have to either hire a guide or get a boat taxi. It's been too long since I've lived there, so not sure who's operating anymore. For flies, all you really need are chartreuse and white clousers and sand eel patterns for the stripers. An intermediate line would be ideal, but if you don't have it, float will work for Monomoy flats with heavier flies. Bring the sink tips anyway. If you fish the jetties, you'll want it.

Poppers are fun for the bluefish, but very situational to be able to use them. Bring steel leaders if you'll chase them.

If you're in Chatham on June 19, I highly recommend checking out the public hearing that is being held at the Chatham Community Center (6-8pm, 702 Main Street). They are considering proposed rules for the Atlantic herring fishery that will have a big impact on stripers, bluefish, and others including river herring and shad.

Cape Cod Fishermen's Alliance has a good primer: http://capecodfishermen.org/images/documents/Campaign_Materials/HERRING_BUFFER_ZONE_FLYER_4_reduced.pdf.

And here's a Pew blog: http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2018/05/18/new-rules-proposed-for-atlantic-herring-fishing-in-new-england.

There's a hearing in Philly next week if anyone is in the area and interested in attending, shoot me an email.

Has anyone fly fished in Chatham MA in June? My research on the area showed that Monomoy Island for sight fishing the flats is good there.  I am hoping if someone would have some information on:

•  where to go (what spots to hit) 
• what to flies work for that time (I think stripers would be in at that time), 
• is it only floating lines or should I bring sinking tips.  
• Contact info on good guides. I would much rather DIY the flats

Thanks

Haven't been to the park recently but I hit up a few streams in the national forest over the weekend and the fishing was great.  Streams were up but clear.  Guessing the park should be the same.
