Looking forward to another year of fly fishing reports! Hopefully we can figure out the picture attachment deal - does not work like it used to. Been a slow start to the year with all the cold weather, but it is just starting to pick up here in the lakes and bays. SDFF is going to meet at Bay Park ...

Hey! It works!

Excellent - As I've been taking the Coaster north for work I've been watching North Torrey and the conditions have been looking better and better. Gotta get the fly rod out there soon...

I use the same reel on my 6 weight - Show up to Bay Park Fish on Saturday and I'll tie up some for you! We'll be there from 11am to 1 in the back.

Heading out to the river in a couple of weeks! I'll report back...

Haha! Same thing happened to me down in Baja - we were wade fishing an estero and as I raised my fly out of the water a halibut shot out and went over my shoulder! Fun times…

This is your place to post about fishing Baja, Mainland Mexico and all points South. Got a trip to Cabo or Belize? post about it here!

Yes! Got my favorite fishing location a place of its own! Thank You Bassman!
Hitting the Estero in Ensenada, or catching roosters in Punta Arena - Post it here!
The Baja season will be cranking up soon, and I have plenty of trips booked - here we go!

Yes, that is not a typo - Friday May 12th when the lake is closed!

So here's the deal - I'm outings coordinator for a local fly fishing club, and for the past several years I've jumped through hoops and rented the whole damn lake. You got that right - 60 people will have the whole lake to ourselves ...

Alright - gave the fluff chuckers ample time to sign up - 10 spots left before we max out at 60. You conventional guys are now welcome to fill those last spots. Go to: https://www.sandiegoflyfishers.com/barrett-lake-outing

Hardly - WAY smaller group than a normal fishing day at Barrett - and we are all by and large fishing top water...

Just got back from my annual kayak fly fishing trip to Estero Coyote. As usual it was an awesome trip, but this year was colder and a bit windier than past trips. The colder water changed the fishing a bit - we had fewer Corvina and Corbina and more halibut and bonefish - the same toad spotties ...

LOL - Here you go

I fly fished Blacks today - tons of beach structure from the glider port stairs north. At one point I couldn't see my feet from the 10 million 1/8-1/4" sand crabs in the surf. Fished from sunrise to 10am without a bite, and didn't see any of the bait fishermen hook up either. Disappointing that the ...

Lately I've been out in the surf with the fly rod every weekend - North Torrey, Blacks, Mission and Coronado mostly. I'll be at Coronado dog beach on Sunday with the 6 weight throwing red worms or merkins. A few weeks ago a guy in our club was throwing a micro clouser and caught a striper. The 6 is ...

Got back last week from a fly fishing trip to La Ventana. The dorado fishing was pretty good, but not spectacular. Sardinas were no where to be found, and the fish for the most part followed them. We ended up using ballyhoo, which worked to attract the fish, but not near as well as sardines. Still ...

Bass were healthy and hungry. Caught a bunch of huge bluegill also.
