Hi all,

I'm going transatlantic from Edinburgh, Scotland in July to stay in the Bath area. I've never been to the States before so don't have a clue about fishing there. Near Bath I'm told Popham beach can be good for fly-fishing (maybe Bass?) Any ideas about how to go about it/where to try/regulations etc.. Brown trout and salmon in Scottish rivers/lochs is my usual, so I could really use some advice, reciprocated of course. Anyone shed some light?

Cheers.

Apologies for the lack of info. I'm staying in New Harbour (the Pemaquid peninsula) in the Mid-coast region of Maine. I hear the salt water fly-fishing is good close in to the shore for striper bass etc. Any tips on techniques with the fly would be useful.

Hello Mate,

My parents are Scots as well { that cheap thing isnt just rumor!} , LOL.
I fish South Shore Long Island but not with a fly rod.
But with a spinning outfit White Bucktails are a favorite. tipped with a pork rind strip produces bass, bluefish & more off the beaches.
Also plugs, swimming & topwater will help you land a cow!
I know a Capt. who runs charters in Maine his name is Capt. Walt check for his ads in the marketplace { forsale} section here @ the noreast site.
He'll give you a good deal and a few laughd too boot.
Cheers,

prime area youre heading to .
any local tackle shop will set you on your way
make sure your equipment is up to the game fish you will encounter... i think a light tackle charter could cap off
trip you wont soon forget.
