Last week, I attended a free session at Orvis Wellesley: how to quickly and effectively start fly fishing the salt.

It was quite helpful. Fishing Manager Peyton Horst led the session, and Store Manager Will Oliver contributed, too. I was surprised at the size of the crowd and how many people had driven long distances.

I’m glad that I went and am eager to give it a go. I tried targeting stripers a few autumns ago and gave up as my workload increased and I failed to locate fish.

The presentation gave solid tips on finding spots and overall strategy needed to find feeding fish. With Will’s permission, the slides are here: Fall Run Deck.

Thank you, Will and Peyton!
