Trip report from a trip to Catalina....May 18, 19 and 20
The Calico Boys – I spent the past three days on Catalina Island doing what I love most….fly fishing for calico bass with my good friends. We laughed all weekend, ate great food in the company of some very special people, and managed to stick some really beautiful calico bass in the process. Fly fishing is an awesome sport that I know I will do for the rest of my life. However that being said, the more time I spend on the water with my friends I have come to realize that the true fulfillment of fly fishing for me is to do it with the people who I enjoy being around the most. Losing a great fish to a crappy knot or from being wrapped in the kelp is still fun if you can laugh it off over a beer with your friends. As always, when you fish hard for three days you learn a lot, and here are few things we took away from our trip: (1) Dave Valadez’s Radioactive Thunderbird fly is an insanely deadly fly (2) YETI Coolers are even better than the hype (3) Seaguar Tatsu is so strong it should be illegal (4) Skinny Tod can drink more beer than you, especially if its Kona Longboard Lager (4) Don’t buy gas on an island if you don’t have to….$6.07 a gallon.
Three straight days of fishing would have been fun with just about anyone, but what made it, and always makes it incredibly great, is because its me, Keith, Bill, Dave and Tod all charging to the majestic island to fish together. Tight Loops & Tight Lines – Adam P.
