FlyLight Charters invites you to experience some of the finest saltwater fishing in the Northeast, specializing in light tackle and fly fishing trips out of New London, Connecticut. Led by Captain Peter Corrao, a seasoned angler with over five decades of experience, every trip blends skill, passion, and access to some of the most productive waters in the region. From Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound to the legendary fishing grounds of Montauk, your adventure will be tailored to your goals and designed for unforgettable days on the water.

Your trip begins aboard the “Doris-Ceil,” a 23’ Jones Brothers Light Tackle Edition center console, powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. The vessel is built for anglers—featuring a flat, snag-free deck, pop-up cleats, advanced navigational electronics, and ample casting space. Whether working nearshore waters or heading farther out, this boat is fast, efficient, and perfectly set up for light tackle and fly fishing. A cooler and professional accessories are on board to make your trip seamless.

The season runs from May through late October, giving anglers plenty of opportunities to fish prime conditions. Conveniently docked near the mouth of the Thames River, FlyLight Charters is only minutes from some of the area’s most productive spots.

To ensure success, Captain Peter provides top-tier gear. Fly anglers will cast G Loomis rods (weights 9–13), matched with Abel reels and Orvis lines. Light tackle setups include G Loomis or No. 8 Tackle Company rods paired with Shimano reels. This professional equipment gives you the best chance to hook and land your target species.

Species commonly targeted include Striped Bass, Bluefish, Blackfish, Black Seabass, False Albacore, Bonito, Fluke, and Scup. Every trip is customizable, so if there’s a species you’d like to focus on, Captain Peter will build a plan around your goals. While catch and release is encouraged, you’re welcome to keep fish and enjoy fresh seafood at home.

With FlyLight Charters, you’ll benefit from a captain who lives and breathes the sport. Whether you’re a seasoned fly angler or new to light tackle fishing, Captain Peter’s guidance ensures you’ll enjoy the scenery, sharpen your skills, and land memorable catches.
