If you're looking to experience some of the most exciting inshore fishing in the Groton area, Viking Fly is ready to put you on the bite. Captain Wes specializes in targeting False Albacore, Bonito, and, when conditions are right, Striped Bass using both fly and light spinning tackle.

The fishing grounds stretch from the Rhode Island beaches to Fishers Island and Montauk, giving you access to a variety of productive waters depending on the season, weather, and current conditions. Captain Wes knows these waters well and will adjust the trip to make the most of the day, whether you're chasing fast-moving False Albacore and Bonito or looking for Striped Bass along the coast.

You'll fish from a 20' center console designed for up to two anglers, making it a great setup for a focused and personalized trip. Quality spinning gear is provided, while fly fishing equipment can be requested when booking. Whether you're an experienced angler looking for a new challenge or simply want to experience the thrill of Northeast inshore fishing, Captain Wes will help you get the most out of your time on the water.

You'll need a valid Connecticut saltwater fishing license, polarized sunglasses, a hat, non-spray sunscreen, and bottled water. Alcohol is welcome in moderation, but please leave glass bottles and hard liquor at home.

Come aboard Viking Fly and explore the productive waters of the Northeast in search of hard-fighting inshore species, with a trip tailored to the conditions and the bite.

My love for fishing started at an early age salmon fishing in Iceland. That passion grew and led me to guide on a couple world famous rivers in Iceland. That love shifted towards saltwater when I had access to a boat. When I caught my first 'albie' 15 years ago I was 'ruined', freshwater took a back seat.
