I may be taking a quick run up to Long Island, NY for my sisters baby BBQ (our version of a baby shower.  More fun and better food)  and just found out that it is the same weekend NY set aside for fishing without a license (June 23rd and 24th).  I'm from the area but never fly fished during my time there.  Anyone have any suggestions on locations that I can drive to without using a guide or a boat.  Would my standard 2/O clousers work well there or should I tie another type or size?   I currently have a 10' 7 wieght (possibly on the light side but thats all I got) with a sinking line and a foating line if needed.

Where on Long Island will you be?  It’s pretty big.  About 2 hours 15 minutes from end to end.

I will be staying in Rocky Point which is on the north shore almost dead center of the island but I will have access to a car so I travel.  Hoping to do an early morning to early afternoon trip and be back around 5 PM.
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
 
Thanks Richard

Sandbox,  (insert irish accent here) Your a Good Man!  {or woman... can't tell from the post  :)   }.  Sounds like a good idea.  I will check it out and let you know how it goes.  I agree about extenting the trip and will be looking into it.  I'm actually born and raised in Mt. Sinai but only fished occasionally when I was a young pup and only at the local beach nea my house.  Plan on calling up some local bait stores to get more info,  Possibly a kayak rental. 
 
Thanks again,
 
Aaron
