Join Abbie Schuster of Kismet Outfitters for an in-depth course on Fly Fishing for Striped Bass, one of the most exciting and accessible saltwater species to target on the fly. Stripers are "everybody’s fish"—whether you’re wading from shore, fishing rocky flats, exploring estuaries, or casting from a boat, there are countless ways to chase them.

Schuster covers essential tactics for both shore and boat fishing, gear selection, fly choices, tips and tricks to improve your success, and important safety considerations for navigating coastal environments. Perfect for anglers of all skill levels, this course will give you the confidence and knowledge to target striped bass in a variety of settings.

This particular video covers the timing and conditions that affect striped-bass behavior and how this information can help you as a striped-bass angler.

Schuster is the owner of Kismet Outfitters on Martha’s Vineyard, where she’s created an inclusive space for anglers of all levels. With guiding experience from Montana to Alaska, Abbie now focuses on her home waters—promoting conservation, catch-and-release striper fishing, and building a diverse, empowered fly-fishing community through education and outreach.
