Casting into the wash of the rocky coast around Portland Head Light or hitting an offshore Cape Cod bite for bass and blues, the EP Mackerel Fly can handle a wide range of saltwater scenarios. A fly coming from the Enrico Puglisi collection, the EP Mackerel Fly is an excellent imitation for these prevalent baitfish. Mackerel are a common baitfish in the northeast and can be found in offshore and inshore locations, and they often feed a wide variety of fish ranging from large bluefish, cow bass, and even massive tuna.
Mackerel imitations are an important part of any saltwater fly rodders arsenal, and the EP Mackerel Fly is a solid pattern to match these fish thanks to a fusiform shape, markings to match the mackerels striped upper, gill accenting, and a set of realistic eyes. Mackerel can show up towards the surface and as deep as 660 feet, and this fly can be fished almost anywhere in the water column from late spring through the fall. The EP Mackerel Fly is an easy one to fish with a stripped retrieve being most common, but mackerel are fast fish, so dont be shy about utilizing a two-handed retrieve when you need to excite the target species.
