#937, "Fly fishing tips"


          

I am new to this kayak fly fishing and have found it to be slow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. i would love advice on soem halibut and corbina as well as almost any fish.

I usually go out in the Laguna area just north of Salt Creek.

The first thing to remember is that generally flyfishing the salt is going to be slower than more conventional methods in most situations.
So, you need to key in on the few situations that give flyfishing even footing or a advantage when compared to standard techniques. You also need to be honest with yourself about your skill level.
For example there is a slough near where I live that has some fairly good extremely shallow water fishing. The fish here are very spooky due to the depth/exposure. A very good flyfisher can put a scented fly in front of a Leopard Shark and get bit more readily than I can with a heavy conventional rig. On the other hand, even though I've flyfished off and on (mostly off) for 12 years, if I tried to drop a fly in front of one of these Sharks the resultant line slap or other flycasting disaster would result in every shark in a 1/4 mile vacating the area.

Tight lines & tight loops,
Wade

Flyfishing can be a target specific sport. I.E. What are you after. One thing I have learned as a flyfisherman that fishes many different locations, because of my job,is this. Based on your equipment pick a fish you can reach,and try to apply your stuff to that. One help I have found is to look at how the locales do it regardless of the gear. For example, if guy's are catching halibut in the surf with white jigs, then match it. Use a sinktip or shooting head or full sinking line with a white clouser. Something that matches what there doing. Check out the Dan Blanton web site at dan blanton guestbook. Good luck, Mark C
