Striper Flats Fishing Flies
Fly fishing for striped bass on the saltwater flats is the hottest sport in the Northeast right now. Spotting the fish, making the stalk and then presenting a perfect cast are the keys to success in this popular sight fishing challenge. Crab Flies that are sized for striped bass are by far the most effective flies for this fishery. We carry a selection of flies that we have proven to be successful from Rhode Island to Maine. If you are looking for a challenge, let Merrimack River Flies help you to be successful!
The Merkin Crab is more than a fly—it's a time-tested legend. Its lifelike design, weighted precision, and adaptability make it a must-have for flats anglers targeting crustacean feeders like permit, bonefish, and striped bass.

The Avalon Permit Fly is not just a pattern—it’s a scientifically designed, field-proven fly that delivers results. If you're targeting permit, or any bottom-feeding flats predator, this shrimp/crab imitation should be your go-to choice.

The Bauer's Crab is a tried-and-true permit fly—also proven effective for bonefish, striped bass, and other bottom-feeders. Trusted in Belize, Mexico, the Keys, and beyond, it delivers reliability season after season.
