Great Article! I've sight-cast for striped bass in the Hamptons a couple of times (see http://wmnevins.posterous.com/sight-casting-for-striped-bass) and I thought that your article really captured the experience. However, in mentioning the "Hamptons Connection" I thought that you missed the top Hamptons "Flats" guide -- Capt. Brewster Minton. I've fished with Capt. Brewster several times (and have him booked next week!). He put me onto my very first striped bass on a fly, and onto my biggest striped bass on a fly (about 20 lbs.). Capt. Brewster can be reached at 631-457-2587 or, by e-mail, at hbminton@msn.com.

I would add 2 this presentation the following thoughts:
1.stay hydrated, 2. Brown or vermillion Polaroid glasses a MUST, 3,long billed hat with a dark underbrim to cut glare, 4. use a great guide

Long Island Stripers

Fly-anglers might not initially think of striped bass as a prime sight-fishing target but one trip to the flats of Long Island, New York will definitely change their mind. Captain Craig Cantelmo of Van Staal reels is a master at spotting and catching these beautiful fish. In early June, Cantelmo hosted Fly Fishing in Salt Waters for three days - what he showed us is something that all fly-anglers should experience.
