Saltwater flyfishing is done with heavier tackle and typically uses wet flies resembling baitfish. However, Saltwater Fish can also be caught with "poppers," a surface lure similar to those used for freshwater bass fishing, though much larger.

Saltwater species sought and caught with fly tackle include: bonefish, tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), sailfish, tarpon, striped bass, salmon and marlin. Offshore saltwater species are usually attracted to the fly by "chumming" with small baitfish, or "teasing" the fish to the boat by trolling a large hookless lure.

Many saltwater species, particularly large, fast and powerful fish, are not easily slowed down by "palming" the hand on the reel. Instead, a purpose-made saltwater reel for these species must have a powerful drag system.
