FlyLight Charters
FlyLight Charters specializes in light tackle and fly fishing trips out of Connecticut. Experience the finest angling opportunities in Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound, and Montauk. With a combination of over 5 decades of experience, you can rest assured your trip with Captain Peter Corrao will be a success.
You will go out aboard the 'Doris-Ceil,' a 23' Jones Brothers Light Tackle Edition center console which comes powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. It is a great vessel for trips close to the shore and for longer rides. The boat is fitted with the latest in navigational electronics, cooler, and many other professional accessories. The deck is flat from bow to stern with pop up cleats and light so you won't have any snagging fly lines when fighting with the fish.
Capt. Peter begins his season in May and takes his guests out until the last week of October. Conveniently located in the general area if the mouth of the Thames River in New London, the captain has access to the best fishing spots within half an hour of the marina.
He uses only what he believes is the absolute best available. To catch fish with a fly, you will be provided with G Loomis fly rods in weights from 9 to 13, Able fly reels, and Orvis full sink lines. Your light tackle spinning and baitcasting gear will include rods by G Loomis or No. 8 Tackle Company and Shimano reels.
Whichever trip you choose, it can be customized to meet your specific needs. Target Striped Bass, Bluefish, Blackfish, Black Seabass, False Albacore, Scup, Fluke, and Bonito. If you have a preference for what you want to target, let your captain know and he will help you land the fish of a lifetime.
The crew calls their sport 'fishing' and not 'catching' and practices 'catch and release'. But you are welcome to take your catch home and taste it for dinner if you wish.
Explore the prolific waters of Connecticut with FlyLight Charters and have a fishing adventure you won't forget!

Jeff FlawsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNew England Trip
3/4 Day Trip on August 23, 2024 • 2 adultsPeter was great, he worked hard at locating fish, we caught a nice variety of fish that kept it exciting.
Monte SwansonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic!!!
Full Day Trip on July 31, 2024 • 3 adultsPeter was the best, most informative guide I have ever used. The experience was absolutely top notch.
Henry Sanzo5.0VerifiedCatch and cook with captain peter
1/2 Day on July 4, 2021 • 3 adultsMy friends and I were looking to fill our freezers for a large cookout for the fifth. Captain peter put us on some good fish and was not afraid to run to where they were. As inexperienced anglers he taught us quickly and patiently. Captain peter strikes me as a man who genuinely just does this because he enjoys helping others get more into fishing, and sees enthusiasm instead of race or creed. Can’t recommend enough, will be booking again soon.
Candice Granger5.0VerifiedJuly fishing trip
1/2 Day on July 11, 2021 • 4 adults • 2 childrenI booked this as a gift for my father and my husband. They had a wonderful time and raved about the trip. Peter was very knowledgeable and helped us to pick a great day and time. My husband said the boat and equipment were top-of-the-line and Peter was fantastic with the kids. Everyone had a memorable trip and caught lots of fish. We will definitely be booking with FlyLight again!!
Amanda Haley5.0VerifiedWhat a day!
1/2 Day on August 24, 2019 • 2 adultsI surprised my boyfriend with a half day trip for his birthday (and I had no idea what I was doing). Peter helped me weeks in advance on how to prep, what to bring, and more. My boyfriend loves fishing so this was a great gift, but Peter went above and beyond to make this day even better! Not only is Peter an amazing captain but he is just an amazing person too. He made sure my boyfriend, an experienced fisherman, could fish his heart out (while getting as much fish as possible) and let me, definitely not an experienced fisher, reel some in that he caught. We always felt safe and overall had such a great day. Thank you Peter for the best day! I know we’ll be back soon.
