Rhode Island fly fishing is made up mostly of saltwater fishing opportunities for striped bass and bluefish. Rhode Island is legendary for its surf and estuary fishing. Narragansett Bay is a major feature of the state's topography. Block Island, known for its beaches, lies approximately 12 miles (19 km) off the southern coast of the mainland. Within the Bay, there are over 30 islands. The largest is Aquidneck Island, shared by the municipalities of Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth. Among the other islands in the Bay are Hope, Prudence, and Despair.
