Located in the southeastern part of Cape Cod Bay, the Brewster Flats offers both the challenge and reward of sight fishing for striped bass on the fly.  Trips are scheduled according to the time of low tide, are best suited for those with intermediate to advanced casting skills, and require plenty of walking (often through knee to waist deep water).
