Hit MB before work today, could only fish for about 45 mins. High tide with marine layer. Got 2 small spotties and 1 small mackerel. The mackerel took the fly on the surface as I was starting the next cast. Nice way to start the work day but all day I just want to go back to fishing.

Where in MB? Do you just rinse off your gear and keep it in your car for the day?

Near De Anza Cove. At morning high tide, the fish were almost within (fly) casting distance from shore.

I keep jugs of fresh water in the truck and rinse off my gear after fishing. Flies/lures get thrown into a plastic cup filled with fresh water and rinsed later.

The rod is a 8.5’ 6wt, it’s fun even the with smallest spotties but still handles bigger fish quite well. I like the feel of fiberglass.
