Anything that looks like a minnow will work on them. Also try the Copper Head on a 1/0 ( http://www.theflyfishingforum.com/fo...opperhead.html ), Clousers in bright colors are also popular flies for Flounder on Cape Cod.

I agree, any jig type fly will work. Try to match the color of bait fish. Let them bounce along the bottom as you slowly retrieve.

Keep your hooks small and sharp...
And use a net when landing flounder, as they often grab the fly in their teeth and the hook does not ever get a purchase. Therefore, without a net, when the flounder gets "to hand", it will just open its mouth and you'll lose the fish...
I catch them on Clousers, but just as an incidental to trout and other target species. Keep the fly near the bottom.
Thanks to all that posted you were a great help

Clousers, wolly buggers, rattle rousers, bend backs and spoon flies work well. One key to getting a hook set in a flounder is not to set the hook until you have taken up all the slack line (slowly) then, strip strike while sweeping the rod parallel to the water.
Where I fish, anything that's on the bottom and white works well. An all-white Clouser in #4 works is my choice most of the time.
An all white Clouser with silver flash is about as good as anything.A black/orange Clouser with copper flash is a very good one to throw also.I have good luck with decievers in all white and olive/white too.
Thank you all for the info Standstall
