Hey Leif - A friend of mine and his son recently got into fly fishing in fresh water and now want to try their hands in the salt. What type of fly would you suggest
for fishing Stripers from a boat when the sand eels start showing up??

Gerry,
There are many sand eel imitations out there. I like this type of fly when the sand eels are around. It is tied on a 2/0 hook and has weighted eyes. You can get them or tie them in different sizes and lengths. Declouser or as some call it, half and half. EZ body patters as shown are productive as well. You'll need a sinking line as well.

Thanks Leif - This kid is really into it and hope to get he and his dad out when the sand eels show up.
