These are the flies I tie and use (along with others)


Chernobyl Grass Crab- Reds in the grass love this one and great hook up ratio too. Complete tying instructions.

Four good flies for reds in the grass. - I am tying these and others very similar for sightcasting to tailing and crawling reds.

Gartside's Gurgler- Great all around topwater fly for stripers and reds.

Bulletproof Baitfish- tie in size 2 and 4 for spanish mackerel and bluefish

Hamilton's Copperhead-Best fly to use for reds in shallow water during summer when it gets murky in the marsh.

Crease Fly -I pretty much fish with a floating line and a Crease Fly almost exclusively for false albacore, too much fun. Tied on a size 4 hooks a great way to fool big spanish too.

Gordoclouser-A variation on the classic that seems to work pretty well.

Gordo's Glass Mino-If I use a streamer for albies, this is the one.

Dirty Sanchez-Match the tiny rain bait/bay anchovies when they show up in October

Scrimp-A favorite fly for sight casting to reds.

Hamilton's Ribbon Spoon-Great way to tie spoons as taught to me by Randy Hamilton.

Seaducer as tied by Jaiem Fleischmann of Arts and Flies (good source to buy flies if you need one).

I also like the Kwan for reds and trout. Easy enough to find tying instructions. 1
