Hi John:
Thanks for sharing these helpful information! I found the second Coast Guard Station in the Hatteras Island. I can see a parking lot on the Museum Drive and an unpaved road to the oceanfront, about 400 ft walking. May I park there? There is also a road from the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum all the way to the tip of the Hatteras Island, but looks like it is an Unpaved SUV road.
As a beginner to Outer Banks, I don't expect too much, just exploring and relaxation. When the fall run striper arrives, is it a good time to fly fish or they will stay offshore?
Thanks again!

--Deepwater, sure thing-- the spot behind Bodie Island is Blossie Creek i think. Their is a gated access road off the paved entrance road that leads to this creek. You can see Off Island from the shore. This is a great spot in April-May for speckled trout. The spot i mentioned at the Coast Guard station near the boat ramp at Oregon Inlet leads to the same creek as the one behind Bodie Lighthouse just closer to the inlet. Again, i like April-May the best and have done well on stripers and specks here. The other Coast Guard station i mentioned is all the way down Hatteras Island at the Ferry Docks for the ferry over to Ocracoke. That beach access is terrific Sept to early Nov for bluefish and even false albacore. This is one of the few spots i know of where you can fly fish from shore for albies. Two other fly fishing spots are the south side of the Oregon Inlet Bridge (if it is open)--you can wade out a bit on both the ocean side and sound side before the drop off--look to see where others are standing. Be careful at these spots. I dont think the stripers have arrived in force down in NC yet, but this time of year you can get into bluefish if the conditions are right. I agree that this time of year might not be best for fly fishing but if you get the right wind direction and the surf temp warms up you can still catch em. Although usually the right wind direction for good fishing is right in your face when casting!! Hope this gives you some ideas whenever you do head down. John

I also have surf rods but I'd rather use the fly rods if it is doable at this season. This will be my first time to surf fish there so I don't have specific target. Just hope I can get some actions. I wonder if anybody can give me some suggestions on season, location, fly shop, and flies? The tide of next weekend is morning and evening high tide.Thanks!Yanghttp://www.tpfr.orgTo view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tidal-potomac-fly-rodders/e46b9762-7d8e-4e55-bff9-202adc037648%40googlegroups.com.
