Hey all - glad to finally contribute. Been lurking around the forum for a while.

Brother's bachelor party is down on the Outer Banks in March.

We've booked the requisite day of offshore beer fishing (his choice, he's not a fisherman - fly or otherwise), but I'm looking to do some inshore/near shore fly fishing while I'm down there.

Anyone have opinion on fly guides down there?

What about shops?

Growing up we used Frisco Rod and Gun for surf fishing needs, can't remember the guides we used for inshore finishing.

We're staying at the south end of Hatteras, but for a great guide I'd happy drive the hour back to Oregon Inlet. Thoughts anyone?

Outer Banks Fly Fishing – from the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center

Brain Horsey or Sarah Gardner – both are excellent

Considering booking one of these guys for my May pre-wedding week of debauchery, wanted your opinion as it appears you have had good experiences with them, I have 4 people (the max they allow) going. Do you think their setup lends well to this many or should I consider lightening our human load? Half or full day? Any insight would be much appreciated.

For 4 fly fishers, I would recommend getting both their boats. They have center console Jones Brothers boats which can accommodate 2 fly fishers or 1 fly fisher in the bow and 2 spin fishers aft. Both are excellent captains and a half day is what I would choose.
