One person who promotes/guides fly fishing for Calico Bass at the L.A. Harbor breakwater is Glen Ueda. I'm fairly sure he fishes for them at any hour but the photographs of his/his partners in the...

I seem to remember fishing for them in spring/summer but that memory is fuzzy. After the locks were closed, the fish weren't able to get through to the Sacramento. Maybe they're there year around.......

WOW!!! On da fly.... :D

Check out Youtube for the Calico Syndicate. This video is one of several produced by a group of guys in SoCal who specialize in Fly fishing for Calico Bass in "boiler rocks" at places like Catalina...

JohnS.... The area you ID'ed in the photo is the area I mentioned in my prior note as, "bank access off Jefferson on the right heading south) just as you cross the bridge/lock." Guess I remembered it...

I'm sure that Stripers use that canal for moving to the harbor/turning basin but have not heard of anyone catching one in the canal itself. Good water below the entrance and in the harbor. The...

Where have I been?? :confused: In addition to some health issues, I'm still trying to solve some problems with my house after having my flooring replaced by SG Carpets. Not my favorite contractor....

The first dry fly that I ever tied/fished was for a Labor Day trip, during the early 70's, to the north fork of the Yuba River. I was invited by a friend and it was the first time I had ever been...

Good news!! Andy is a lot more than a very good guide. In addition, he's a amazing photographer and fly designer/tyer.... :cool:

Bump to top!!

In the example I posted, the fly can be "hopped" during the retrieve similar to how Bill describes how conventional anglers retrieve their lures.

BTW, as Woodman suggests, the "Squimp" is a very...

My perspective on weighting Shrimp patterns is that using bead chain eyes or lead, dumbbell eyes affects the angle and rate of sink. For example: placing the eyes at the eye of the hook and tying the...

KD Mat Rat bass fly. Altho, I don't use it often (requires a surface mat), its still one of my favorites. Its fun to tie and if you've ever had the absolute pleasure of seeing a Bass take from under...

Good photo of you and the fish. 48 pounds, WHEW!!! :cool:

WOW!!! A monster indeed. :eek:

After viewing the video, I'm wondering if this lure has crossed over the line from fly to plug (even though cast on a fly outfit)?? I'm applying the old saying that if it looks like a spook and walks...

Not sure about a "FF Theater" but Jay Murakoshi is attending as a demo fly tyer if that's any indication.

Unfortunately, I haven't fished Red Lake in several years as I too experienced a mild stroke and have been relatively unstable (balance wise) since. But, I plan to start fishing up there this spring....

I'm a big fan of anything written by now deceased Russell Chatham. He covers all of the west coast, not all fly fishing but that is his primary subject. His style is alternately humorous, then...

BS,.... Certainly sounds like a good idea to me. I've wondered about doing the same thing at several lakes. Probably some reason why it (casting a 2 hander from a ladder) shouldn't be done due to...

WOW!! Spectacular!! Thanks for sharing.... :cool:

Assuming that you mean Charlies or Bisharat's Airhead, I seem to recall that they were tied on a nickel plated spinnerbait hook (round bend, longer shank and circular, straight eye). Size depends on...

"Sometimes out walking along the river I see those that brave the ice/snow winter temps and wonder, if it where me do I really want to put my hand in that water to release the fish."

As a long...

Another group of amazing photo's, John. The photo's of the fall colors, clouds and river made me feel chilled but brought back many fond memories of trips I went on. Thanks for sharing. :cool:
