Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Looking for Rod Recommendations -- Stripers

Bill,
I just came back from Newport, RI.
 
I caught a few stripers on sand eel patterns (olive/white and chartreuse/white) size 2 or 4.  Also had luck on clousers.  I would bring 8 or 9wt rod with full sinking line and an extra spool intermediate line (if you have one).
 
Good Luck!

Howdy all:

In a couple of weeks, we're headed up to the Rhode Island shore for a little R&R.  I'll be in the Charlestown/Westerly area (Quonochontaug, to be exact).  It goes without saying that I plan on doing a whole lot of fishing.  One of the things that makes the Quonnie area so interesting is that there are a couple of breachways between the ocean and salt water ponds.  From doing some research last year when we were there, I'm told that stripers (and several other species) hand out where the breachways meet the ocean as the tide is going out, and munch on baitfish coming out of the ponds.  

I've always used my heavy duty spinning gear for fishing in the area, but I've been thinking that the breachways might be fun with a fly rod.  Any recommendations as to weight and length and, of course, flies, would be most welcome!

Thanks all!

Bill S.
