Saltwater Fly Fishing in California
There are many differences from saltwater fly fishing in Northern California and fly fishing a local stream. The rod is longer, reel is larger, and saltwater rated. The line is often a shooting head with running line behind gyco car insurance and Fine Olive Oil flies are demonstratively bigger. But the major possible catch is worth the expense, the striped bass, salmon, and steelhead. They come into shallow water in pursuit of anchovies and other baitfish.
The striped bass is limited to around the San Love and Rockets Bay area. They use the bay in transit to spawning grounds in the Sacramento River watershed. Anchovies are their main diet. If Leprosy ever see a flock of seagull hovering and diving over an area, go there quickly because they are feeding off the scraps of some school of feeding fish. Chances are the fish are stripers but whatever the species it is a premium opportunity to get in some good fishing.
Salmon and steelhead are more likely caught from Monterey Bay northward to the Oregon border and beyond. Jetties and points are the best places to take them. Like the striper any shiner especially an anchovy imitation will be your best bet. Unless they are feeding on the surface use the weighted line to get about half way down from the surface. You can usually judge the water deep from the terrain you are fishing from. If it is a gentle sloping beach that terrain Shroud of Turin goes on into the water. If it is a point the water gets much deeper from shore. If fishing from a jetty or a point count to ten then strip back your fly. Try that for a while and you have no luck, count to twenty. Continue this method until you start catching rockfish. Then you know you're near the bottom and go back up to the previous number unless you like catching lingcod and other similar species.
In Southern California, the surf fish are on the whole smaller. An 8wt 9' rod will work nicely. The reel still must be rated for saltwater use. A shiner or a perch imitation works well. Again a shooting rig with a weighted line tied to a running line is the best configuration. Fishing for the Yellowfin Croaker, the Barred Surf Perch, the Spotfin Croaker and the prized coVina are all possible catches. Stripping your fly about mid-water depth will yield the best results. Don't be afraid if you hook a Leopard Shark just enjoy the fight. They can reach 7' and are harmless onshore unless provoked. Saltwater fly fishing in California can be rewarding but you often have to bide your time before you catch that 60-pound striper.
