As my summer vacation plans near solidification, it's looking
increasingly likely I'll be spending a week on the coast in the
Harpswell, ME area. In the event I'd take a fly rod along, what should
I start thinking about fly- & quarry-wise? I sorta know what to expect
topography wise with the rocky coast, tidal currents, etc.; and I have
to think there would be fish there just waiting for the right offering.
Given the added accessibility and mobility afforded by a sea kayak,
anybody care to give me a little encouragement or food for thought?

FWIW, I have never fished the salt before. I have both an 8 wt. & a 9
wt. at my disposal, but a sinking line for only the 9 wt. I can, if
pressed, churn out a respectable Clouser Minnow.

Happy to have an on-topic question for a change,
Joe F.

Take the 9 wt. Put on an Intermediate line if fishing from the beach...a 350
grain head if fishing from the Yak. The lower Kennebec (Popham) or the lower
New Meadows (next river south) are both excellent. Stripers will be your
primary target...a few Mackeral or perhaps Blues will be around also.

The standard salt versions (3/0) of Decievers/Clousers/Gurglers/etc will
fit the bill nicely.
