Damn it MD!

You are gonna make me get back into fly fishing again.....

Catching them on the fly was always a blast.

Good luck out there.

Nice! I have only tried fly fishing salt once and it was pretty tricky from the kayak. I grew up fishing streams in the sierras and love to fly fish, but I have really been enjoying catching fish with my spinning rod and bait caster. Do you do well in the bay and in the surf?

If you don't mind, what is you material list ( the orange ones in first picture), I also tie all my own.

I'll bet you I caught that same halibut a few weeks ago based on the location of the bridge pilings in the background! Very nice results indeed!

Picture #3 doesnt look familiar though - DP harbor maybe?

When I was in the So. Cal Fly shop on Sunday they were showing me pictures of big Halibut and Leopard sharks being caught at the lagoon outlets on the north county beaches. They were using 6 and 8 weight rods and small minnow patterns. Everything I've been tying is too big (1/0 clousers and decievers), so now I've got to get busy and tie smaller flies on #4 and #6 hooks. Now's the time to hit the beach with the fly!
