My favorite Lake is getting over the water fluctuating blues. Had a good day.

Did a brief 6 hour session this overcast Sunday without much todo. This was a break-in trip for the new SUP yak and it preformed well. Started off at the Ski Beach Boat Launch and fished my way (regrettably against an incoming tide) from Dana to Quivira without a bite. Eel grass is heavy around Dana ...

Went down on Sunday to the Cays in search of the usual bass. The first couple hours were slow with only a few spotties. That quickly changed as I suddenly found my self surrounded by bait crashing. Quickly tied on a floating jerk bait I've been wanting to try and it ...

Just a sad update, it was confirmed from Mikey’s family FB that a lobster fishermen found his body in Turtle Bay, just north of where he was reported missing. The family now has the closure needed. It hurts more that it’s so close to the holiday season.

For those of you that either knew him or ...

RIP Mikey!

My first spotfin! Red krabbypatty fly at Blacks, 7:00AM, -1ft tide. Kelp was a nuisance and got worse as the tide came in. I did not see any corbina.

Euro nymphed the Lower Owens River last weekend which was super fun and rewarding. I went with the local Golden State Fly Casters club here in town and caught nearly 20 trout each day! I have a 10 ft 3 weight shadow X euro rod which helps me tight line nymph and feel every bite. I only used typical ...

Lots of small bonito locally in the ocean.

Troll a small crocodile lure until hooking up, put engine in neutral, cast the fly. Catch one or two or a half dozen. After a few casts with no grabs rinse and repeat.

Haven't seen ...

Crowley and Mary fishing great! Midges and Hornbergs killing it at Crowley..doesn't get any better! Most fish are up at the mouth of the Owens. A long kick from the Green banks. Mary was giving up nice 14"-19" fish on black leeches with a flashback hares ear trailer stripped in 4'-8' of water. I ...

Went fly fishing on the Lower Owens river just outside Bishop California last weekend. The weather was awesome and the fishing was great… caught some wild brown and rainbow trout up to 15” long using a euro nymphing technique. The hot fly was a size 14 light brown thread frenchy with a pink 3.5 mm ...

Beautiful day on the water.was lucky to land a 35lb plus...Yellowtail . My PB 46". Large green back trolled about 1 miles out of LA Jolla on my 15.5 Jackson Karaken, old school paddle guy.
