Wading trips for striped bass

From $450 for 4 hours. All gear and flies or lures provided.

Sight fishing on foot

There’s nothing like spotting a striper on a sand flat and making the cast on foot.

Wading trips explore the beaches, points, river mouths and flats of Southern Maine. Captain Bryan reads the tide and light to find cruising stripers in skinny water, then helps you make the right presentation.

It’s a great way to learn water you can fish on your own, and Bryan is no stranger to it: he’s been known to stand in 34-degree water in the winter.

Questions

Wading trips FAQ

Do I need waders?

Bring waders if you have them. In mid-summer, wet wading is often comfortable. Ask Captain Bryan when you book.

Is wading good for beginners?

Yes. Bryan helps with casting and positioning, and wading trips are a great way to learn how stripers use the tide.

Where do we wade?

Flats, beaches and points around Casco Bay and Saco Bay, chosen by tide and light.
