Salt water fly types

[Copper Dropper]

I love a good bunker crease fly or an Enrico's Mackerel or maybe even Dave Skok's Harbor Pollack on a chilly November evening in NJ.

for me decievers, clousers and popper types
my fourth most used fly is probably a olive bunny strip that emulates a small eel

[Jed]

Duh.. I did not see the olive/chartreuse/green/leafy color in my fly and I did not even read the cut and paste description.

I better go back to drinking rum as the halucinations are confusing the heck out of me.

Jed,
Halucinations?
Maybe you should lay off of the purple haze

NORTHEAST Saltwater:
Clouser Minnow
Lefty's Deceiver
Surf Candy
EP Fibers & Kinky Fiber flies to imitate Pnut Bunker
Bob's Banger, Gartside Gurgler or Crease Fly

I could (probably) fish the entire season with just these 5 or 6 flies in 2 colors and 2 sizes. Do I? Heck no! I tie 8 million different flies in a gazillion colors and sizes to fit every possible situation imaginable and then what do I do...I revert back to these same 5 or 6 patterns in 2 different sizes and 2 different colors and fish them consistantly...ahhhh, ain't life grand?!?!?!?!

dscapuano in the original post: " ... Also, does anyone know about a fly for Stripers called a Grocery?"

Among other things , you requested information about a 'grocery fly' which is used for stripers. This saltwater fly enjoys a good reputation among fly fishermen across the North East , from Maine to Sandy Hook when fishing for stripers.
The fly comes from its originators : Eldridge Brothers Fly Shop in Cape Neddick , Me.
and it is usually tied in a 4/0 hook as a pollock imitation. Further information may be obtained at :

I like anything that is chartrues and white or red and white, both with lots of flash.
