S.K.S Adventures is an informal fly-fishing guide service and blog based in Barrington, RI. Our goal is to make fly-fishing in the Ocean State approachable for new and experienced anglers alike.
We specialize in fly fishing for striped bass in Rhode Island’s East Bay. Unlike a charter service we don’t use boats. We find the tidal rivers, outlets, coves, and beaches of the East Bay to be an intimate fishery best explored on foot. We also fish using traditional trout and salmon techniques. Like salmonoids, striped bass enjoy current. They use the currents formed by the tide to feed, making dead drifts and swings highly effective presentation styles.
We also don’t have set outing types. When a client wants to fish with us the first step is to co-design an outing that custom fits the client’s experience level, availability, and fishing interests.
New to fly-fishing? We’ll incorporate a beginners casting lesson into the outing before hitting the water. A seasoned angler, but new to the East Bay? We’ll leverage your existing fly fishing skills to design an experience that will both challenge and introduce you to this wonderfully fishery. Have children? We’ll keep the outing fun and educational with nature walks and wildlife lessons. Once we have designed your ideal outing costs are calculated using an hourly per person rate.

Our Story
​
S.K.S Adventures is the brainchild of Sam Somera, a resident of the East Bay and longtime fly fisherman. For years Sam has sought to combine his passions for teaching and fly fishing. After years of learning the local waters and expanding his fly fishing knowledge, Sam is finally ready to share his insights and experience with others through engaging print and online content, as well as guided outings.
​
Our Mission
Our mission is two-fold. On the site our mission is to provide informative, engaging, and accessible content about fly fishing with an emphasis on the waters and species of Rhode Island's East Bay.
​
In the guiding realm our mission is to educate anglers and expose them to Rhode Island's fishing possibilities. We want our clients to expand their fly fishing knowledge and skill set while getting to see their local waters in a new light.
Looking to the Future
At the moment S.K.S Adventures is a blog offering guided outings. In the future we hope to expand our equipment capabilities to accommodate a wider range of species, fisheries, and clientele.
​
We are also interested in hosting fly tying events, casting events, lectures, beach clean-ups, and large group outings.
