Fly fishing is our specialty
Fly Fishing for Striped Bass in Maine
Stripers on the fly in Casco Bay and Saco Bay, for novices and seasoned anglers.
Experience the thrill of stripers on the fly
Fly fishing is Captain Bryan’s specialty, and striped bass on the fly is what Origin was built for.
Trips cater to novices and seasoned anglers, with a rewarding and educational day for everyone. Bryan has spent years helping anglers cast farther, faster and more accurately, especially in challenging wind.
How we fly fish
- Sight fishing: stalking stripers on sand flats in the right light.
- Structure and moving water: ledges, rips and river mouths on the tide.
- Blitzes: stripers crashing bait on the surface, especially in the fall run.
Flies tied in Maine
Every fly in the box is tied in Maine to match local bait. See the flies.
