That was good stuff Boys, and right next door .. I'm in NB and usually fish for stripers in Miramichi with the fly rod as well. The water looked like the chocolate river, and I was a bit surprise that they could see the flies. Nice strong fish
There’s a few rivers around the Hants/Colchester area but I could see there lots of rivers on the bay of fundy holding stripers. We catch them accidentally a lot in June when fishing for trout. just make sure you read the regulations cuz they are different in rivers compared to tidal waters
20lb straight leader, we went with tide at flood and came out low tide, I’m not an expert so I can’t really say what time was best, but i think people say they move up with the tide so probably flood/slack tide?
@finsntalesfilms this will be my first year trying stripers on a fly rod over in Miramichi nb I have an 8 weight 9 foot and a 9 weight also so I should have enough rod to catch them.
Gee that’s a tough one!! I guess it depends on what kind of fishing you want to do most… honestly for me I’d try to live near one of the rivers closer to newglascow/antigonish area if I could choose!
Nope it’s not, i can’t really specify where it was out of respect of James who took me, but he is a guide if you would like to reach out to book with him!
Great video. I subscribed and liked. I was using a whole mackerel this one day when I was after a 40 plus inch striper but I hooked a great white shark instead while fishing fom my kayak in the Bay of Fundy. Part of my video was used on the Discovery Channel episode called The Great White North. Toss me a subscription too, if you like, I only need a couple more to get 1000 :) Cheers
Beauty day and beauty fish! Keep up the great content, and I hope to see you on the river this spring!
Thanks a lot! And never know I’m sure we will bump into each other at some point!
It's not about the fish numbers...totally agree.
That's why the call it fishing and not catching.
Oh wow! That's fantastic! Great to have friends who know exactly where to go...always make a great trip even better!! Fantastic! Bruce and Otis
Yes that’s true! It’s great to have friends that show you the ropes!
Love this video format man. Super cool.
Thanks a lot!!
Fantastic. Young guys and fly rods. I’m try it there soon. Thanks for putting them back. Great video.
yes definitely try it, you will be hooked!!
Nice job! Not alot of good local content that showcases our fisheries on here. Glad to see it!
Thank you! Hopefully we can continue to showcase this awesome province!
Great video as always. I've never seen someone get stripers on a fly, so that was neat. Looked like a blast.
It was a blast!!
Great fishing
I will have to try that myself.
Don't have a boat but looks like fishing from the shore will work too.
Yes the land works just fine!
Just a little heads up..if you want to get onto some sea runs early next year try Ship harbour (Weeks Lake)I always catch them mid April into May here
Thanks for the intel!
My Favorite Fish on a Fly Rod!!! Epic video Man. Can only imagine how the long the animation took😂
so fun!! yes it took longer than id like to admit 😂
Love the great production quality, also when you deal with bait the lobsters and crabs get it first 90% of the time lol
thank you! and yes thats true haha

Yes the water is definitely muddy!!! But they still find the flies some how haha
Wow awesome fishing. Where did he take you to find even the little ones? I've never gone but would love to get out this spring and give it a go.

Nice job ! How did you rig your leader ? What pound test ? Big tides in those rivers half tide rising the best time ? Enjoyed it thanks
20lb straight leader, we went with tide at flood and came out low tide, I’m not an expert so I can’t really say what time was best, but i think people say they move up with the tide so probably flood/slack tide?
Love it!

I been fishing stripers bass for years. What river was you fishing.
DM me on Insta!
Yeah I fish stripers too .I am from Nova Scotia
That’s awesome they are great fish!! Lots of fight
You guys in the valley?
Nope we are in Truro!
What length and weight rod are yas using
i was using a 9ft 8wt and james was using a 9ft 9wt! i wouldnt go any less than an 8wt honestly unless you are only after schoolies
@finsntalesfilms this will be my first year trying stripers on a fly rod over in Miramichi nb I have an 8 weight 9 foot and a 9 weight also so I should have enough rod to catch them.
Oh definitely! Good luck!!
Im from ns !!!
You guys ever hook a 40+ ona flyrod??
I haven’t but I’m sure James probably
Has! Maybe this year 🤞🏼
Stewiacke River ?
If you could live on a river within hour, hour and a half from Halifax area..wich rivers would you pick?
Gee that’s a tough one!! I guess it depends on what kind of fishing you want to do most… honestly for me I’d try to live near one of the rivers closer to newglascow/antigonish area if I could choose!
Is this near advocate harbour or parrsboro
Nope it’s not, i can’t really specify where it was out of respect of James who took me, but he is a guide if you would like to reach out to book with him!
Hey what is the legal length to keep
Not really sure! The area we were in was catch and release so I didn’t check
Gulf of St Lawerence and Bat of Fundy have different numbers. Gulf fish must fit a slot size of 50-65cm and I believe Fundy fish must be 65+.
I fished stripers for years
why didnt you eat them?
It is a catch and release zone that time of year
