Block Island, Narragansett Bay, Watch Hill, Montauk and Fishers Island Fly Fishing and Light Tackle Charter Guides in Rhode Island.

`RI Captain Greg Snow is a light tackle and Fly Fishing Charter Guide on Block Island, Watch Hill in Rhode Island. Also Montauk Point and Fishers Island in New York.`

If you are looking for the finest fly and light tackle fishing in Rhode Island then look no farther. My name is Capt. Greg Snow and I would be honored to guide you on a fishing adventure of a lifetime. Some of the most fertile and pristine coastline anywhere along the eastern seaboard consists of the islands, bays and beaches of Rhode Island.

We follow the fish..

Snowfly Charters starts fishing in early May as the Striped Bass population in Narragansett Bay swells in search of the huge schools of menhaden, herring, anchovies, shrimp. Watch Hill Reef is also getting thick with squid. I will make the decision on which area is going to produce better by late April. As of right now I think Watch Hill is the place for 2012 but you never know. As water temperatures rise come the 1st of June we relocate to the "motherland of striper fishing", Block Island. For those that are not familiar with fishing Block Island you are in for a real treat. Some of the most beautiful and uncrowded waters in southern New England surround the island. The island is known for it's BIG striped bass. The state record striper of 71 pounds caught on the south side of Block Island in 1980 was crushed with a 75 pound fish in August of 08'. Over half of all our Striped Bass are caught on surface flies and plugs. There is nothing like being witness to a 30 or 40 pound fish blasting an artificial right in front of you! There are always marauding monster bluefish to be had around Block island. Bluefish will destroy topwater plugs with reckless abandon as well as jump and pull like the insane fish that they are. The stripers get all the attention but Bluefish are a much better game fish and pound for pound one of the best in the world. Block Island is one of the premier points of departure for hunting bluefin tuna and sharks. 5 to 15 miles off BI is all you have to travel to the tuna/shark fishing grounds. Bonito and false albacore will generally show up in mid August and provide some of best light tackle fishing an angler can have. I will also make runs in the fall to fish Montauk, the "Race" at fishers Island, Watch Hill, and Point Judith, Rhode Island. Please contact me with any questions about customizing a trip.

Snowfly Charters Fishing Reports.

April 12, 2012.

Hello my fishing friends! Capt. Greg here just giving y'all a 2012 fishing season update. The charter season began this past Easter weekend. Don't get too excited now, the season started for me. I pulled out the SeaCraft to do some minor repairs and maintenance. I will try to get her ready to fish ASAP for all of you hard cores that are chomping at the bit. This wildly warm winter will certainly affect the fishing in some way, shape or form. It's impossible to know what this spring has in store for us but one thing is for sure, it will surely be interesting. There are some solid reports from South county that large schools of schoolie striped bass are already hammering bait on the beaches. I have made the decision to keep the SeaCraft on her trailer for the month of May. Trailering allows for a lot of wiggle room when deciding where to fish the spring run. Narragansett Bay? South County? Newport? Nobody knows where the Bass will show and what they will be feeding on. It's anybody's guess. I can't wait! The Striped Bass will be migrating out to Block Island as usual, and as usual Snowfly Charters will be right on their tails. I expect to be doing charters on the Island by Memorial Day weekend. June is almost entiely booked, so don't procrastinate when booking your fishing trip for July and August. I'm now accepting reservations for Memorial Day weekend. The past few fishing seasons have been starting earlier and earlier. That (along with the recent weather patterns) makes me believe things will be firing up early once again. It will be hard to top last season's epic fishing but who knows what Mother Nature will give us. Looking forward to hearing from everyone and psyched about getting my anglers tight to some quality fish. Cheers.....

Until next time, Screaming reels & ripping tides!
