2/24/13 san diego big bay kayaking on the fly - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sounds like we have enough interest to have a fly rod only bay bass tournament!

We need to all meet up in one of the bays and throw the bug wand...

The two best fly shops for salt water flyfishing in San Diego are Blue Water Tackle in Solana Beach, and SD Fly Shop in Liberty Station (point loma) both have a good selection of flies for salt water.
SD Fly Shop also has classes on flyfishing the surf and bays and evening classes on tying flies.

Most of the other shops like Strouds and Norpine concentrate on fresh water, but are a good source of tying supplies...

Nice flies! And nice burger! Haven't ate at Nessy's for awhile. Thanks for the reminder. Need to pass by the next time I drive back home from fishing.

I always wanted to try out SD bay, that looks like fun. Every time I get down there I hear LJ calling to me and I end up fishing LJ. I try fly fishing LJ 8-10 times last year, and caught Kelp bass, barracuda, and rockfish, but nothing big, I been trying for a YT but no luck. I am not even sure if a WSB will take a fly? any thoughts on how to catch one of the bigger species on flies?

Squid pattern or a big mackerel streamer should do the trick.

Bay Bass tourney

maybe with a bonefish side bet. I'm in!

I'll just have to transition from tying my #24 dry flies to my Saltwater Permit crabs, Deceivers, & Clousers. WOW!!!...flies I won't have to wear magnifiers to tie, that'll be different.
