A School of thought
The Cape Cod School of Saltwater Fly Fishing was born of a philosophy that the saltwater fly fishing environment is inherently different from its freshwater cousin. The water is bigger, the flies are bigger and the targets are bigger. Speed, distance and balance are crucial. The school's design is intended to break you down and rebuild you into the saltwater angler you are meant to be.
