Week of April 5th - April 11th:
While it's still a bit early for the main fishing season, there are signs that the spring run is on its way.
The herring runs around Cape Cod and Massachusetts are starting to fill up with these baitfish, which will eventually attract the striped bass when they arrive in early May. As you prepare for your upcoming Cape Cod fishing or Guided Trip, consider tying flies that imitate the baitfish that the striped bass will be feeding on. Some of the most popular patterns for striped bass include Clouser Minnows, Deceivers, Lefty's Deceivers, and Surf Candies. These patterns are often tied in white, chartreuse, and olive, and can be weighted or unweighted depending on the fishing conditions.
Don't forget about tying crab and shrimp patterns as well. These can be effective when the striped bass are feeding on crustaceans. Also, squid flies are a great option for early season fly fishing on cape cod.
With the start of spring, fly fishing season on Cape Cod is just around the corner. As the herring runs begin to become occupied, and the ospreys build their nests, it's time to start preparing for the arrival of the striped bass in early May.
