For dedicated striped bass fly anglers seeking expertise and community, the My Fishing Cape Cod (MFCC) online forum stands out as an invaluable resource.
Our private members-only platform offers extensive knowledge sharing, fishing reports, and friendly guidance specifically tailored to striped bass fly fishing in Cape Cod waters.
After speaking recently with members of My Fishing Cape Cod, I realized that some fly anglers here on the site were not even aware that the fly fishing section of our forum event existed!
With that in mind, I figured I absolutely needed to make this post which clearly shows how to take advantage of this valuable resource.

The forum houses over ten years of accumulated wisdom from striper fly anglers. Members regularly report to me that accessing this comprehensive database of fishing knowledge has significantly accelerated their learning curve, often saving them five to ten years of trial and error on the water.
Active Fly Fishing Discussions and Resources
The forum's dedicated fly fishing section features several key components that benefit striper enthusiasts:
Seasonal Fly Tying Insights
A highlight of the community is the fly tying thread, currently "Fly Fishing and Fly Tying 2025," where members showcase their latest patterns for stripers and other species. This collaborative environment allows anglers to share successful designs proven to work on stripers, albies and other species.

I can't express how much I appreciate you guys posting about and sharing your flies! You guys are a talented bunch to say the least!
Location-Specific Intel
The forum's robust search functionality enables members to access detailed information about prime striper fishing locations. Whether seeking insights about Monomoy's legendary flats and rips, or Old Sandwich Harbor's productive waters, anglers can quickly find relevant posts and updates about striped bass movements and behavior.

While peak activity occurs during the prime striper season (May through October), the forum maintains steady engagement throughout the year. The winter months see continued discussions about fly tying, gear preparation, and strategy planning for the upcoming striped bass season.

While the forum primarily focuses on Cape Cod's striped bass fishery, members also share valuable fly fishing experiences from other regions, providing broader perspectives and techniques that can be adapted for striper fishing.
For example, check out this extensive multi-thousand word post from member Johan Frenje about his recent fly fishing expedition to the tributaries of Lake Ontario in search of monster brown trout.
