I first started float tubing back in the mid 70s. In those days there were only a couple of companies producing tubes commercially. They relied on a truck tire inner tube for floatation and were relatively small compared to todays model. You were in theater from the waist down and, with the primitive waders back then, it was cold and uncomfortable fishing. We loved it! Fast forward to today and you have a myriad of boats available from many manufacturers and they keep you up out of the water for a more comfortable experience and we still love it! At the shop we settled on the Outcast brand of boats because of the quality, customer service, and durability of their products. As a retailer, when a manufacturer can give you good value and less headaches you stick with them. My current boat is a Fishcat 4 Deluxe which suits most of my personal needs. It’s lightweight, rugged and packs down pretty small to fit easily in my Prius. I had an older Outcast Oncilla pontoon boat that I used for group trips where i needed to get around and check on my clients but, with my lower back acting up on occasion, it became just too heavy for me to handle comfortably by myself. </div>

This past weekend I took a group of customers/friends to a small private lake in the Santa Ynez Valley and was able to borrow a Fishcat Scout from my Outcast rep, Alex Ramirez to test out. These boats are a light ,frameless pontoon boat that have been on the market for a couple of years and, though we sell them in the shop, I had not had the opportunity to fish out of one.</div>

The first thing I noticed was that it was, comparably, very light weight, just 35 lbs, and were very easy too inflate with just two air chambers. The pontoon chamber is quite large so an electric inflator would be a nice extra. The foot rest bar is a little tricky to get in place with cold hands. Maybe they should supply some vaseline or liquid soap to was this part of the assembly. Other than that, adding the oars is simple and it was a breeze to assemble and easy to carry to the stare’s edge. The large deck air chamber sits you nice and high off the water and allows good fishing visibility and excellent comfort with the adjustable seat and back rest keeping me upright and comfortable all day. As with many modern day personal floatation devices, a long handled landing net was handy to get to the fish over the large pontoons. All in all, very easy to assemble and a joy to fish out of all day. May have to invest in a new toy. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Steve and I were walking through the Fly Fishing Dealer Show
in Denver a few years ago and as we passed one of the booths the guy behind the
counter said “Hey, have you ever seen anyone do this with sun screen?” and he
proceeded to smear it in his eye.
If you’ve ever had regular sunscreen trickle into you eye you know how
badly the stuff can sting. Our
intrepid salesman merely wiped his eye with a tissue and smiled “See? Doesn’t
sting!” he declared. He got his
desired result. We stopped and had
closer look at his product, Sol Sunguard.
My first question was “ Yeah, but does the sunscreen work?” As an answer he gave us some samples to
try. Since then it is the only
sunscreen that I use. </div>

many a painful night with sunburn and was very aware, after a few bad burns,
about the negative effects of UVB and UVA rays. I have never used a product as
effective a Sol Sunguard. The
product features microfine zinc oxide that offers transparent and complete
protection, I just spent a very hot day yesterday in my boat in shorts and flip-flops
with no effects in terms of sun burn.
The skin on my feet and the backs of my hands are particularly
susceptible to the sun’s rays but with Sol it’s not a problem. To make it even better, it isn't greasy, won't effect your fly line, has no odor and is non water soluble. </span><br />

Want to take your flyfishing skills to the next level? Then you need to attend “The Fly Zone” surf series with Al Quattrocchi and Jim Solomon. These two seasoned anglers will walk you through all the techniques and secrets to becoming more proficient in the California surf. “The Fly Zone” will be a two day boot camp clinic - The first day will be in the classroom refining your tackle, learning about productive fly patterns, how to read the water for structure and current and then to the neighboring park to improve your shooting head casting skills for distance, safety and accuracy. The second day will be an early morning rendezvous to the beach to apply what you learned in the classroom. Their objective - To teach you how to catch more fish, efficiently and with less aggravation. Don’t miss this opportunity - let Al and Jim put you In “The Fly Zone”.</div>

<i>Al Quattrocchi has spent most of his life fishing the surf with spinning and fly gear. He started the One Surf Fly about 6 years ago to engage many </i><i>newcomers to the joys of fly fishing the surf and to promote and support our local fishery and fly shops. Al also teamed up with mako master, </i><i>Conway Bowman to co-host the Carp Throwdown in San Diego each June. Al prides himself as a profession fly tier for Umpqua. He lectures and </i><i>teaches at local fly clubs and shops on local species and loves to shoot photos, video and write an article or two for some of our popular saltwater </i><i>fly fishing magazines. Al’s favorite California surf fish is the corbina!</i></div>

Jim and Al along with </i><i>many of their fishing buddies pull together the Double Haul Ball each year in Long Beach. When Jim is not fishing in Montana or the Sierras he </i><i>spends many days on our local beaches. Jim has caught many exotic species in our local surf, including spot fin croaker, striped bass, sargo, </i><i>corbina and white sea bass. If you asked Jim he would probably consider himself a corbina junkie!</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have fly fished for 40 plus years and during that time I
have wrestled with several different ways to carry all the “stuff” that is, in
my humble opinion, necessary for a quality day on the water. When I first started I used a simple
fly box stuffed into my shirt pocket and a couple of spools of tippet material
and I went out and had fun. As I
progressed in the hobby I accumulated more “stuff” and eventually bought an
inexpensive cotton vest that was soon bulging with fly boxes, floatant, rain
shell, leaders, tippet and an assortment of other things that I was certain I
couldn’t live without. By the mid
80s I was getting back and neck strain from the accumulated weight that I was
carrying around. I decided I needed to try something else and got a really nice
chest pack from JW Outfitters, whittled down my payload and still seemed to
catch just as many fish with half the stuff. Six years ago I retired the chest
pack and got a new Simms vest that certainly was a pleasure to wear compared to
my old cotton piece. About that same time, however I found myself fishing more
and more locally and for many other species besides trout. This necessitated major planning before
each outing. Taking out boxes of
surf flies and replacing them with boxes of carp, bass or trout flies and the
corresponding leaders and tippets was a chore that inevitably resulted in boxes
that had that “killer fly” being left at home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually the
whole mess evolved into different gear storage for different species. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For trout, I still prefer my Simms Guide vest. It has a ton of storage, I still can’t
leave much behind, and because of the way the vest is designed the weight is
distributed well and I can carry a ton of gear in comfort. </div>

For boat fishing I use an Umpqua Famous 2500 Boat Bag, which
will hold 5 or 6 big fly boxes, rain shell, pliers, sunscreen, granola bars, camera,
Boga Grip, extra Buff and a whole pile of other stuff too. It has a hard bottom
that will withstand the abuse that is unique to fishing from a boat. The top is an excellent worktable that
is connected by a waterproof zipper that keeps everything inside dry. Best damn boat bag I’ve ever owned. <a href="https://vimeo.com/59920462" target="_blank">Umpqua video shows some of the great features of this piece.</a></div>

Carp and surf fishing have a lot of similarities other than
the flies (there are some flies that will work for both) and you need to be
very mobile and unencumbered. I
finally decided on an Orvis Safe
Passage Sling Pack. It is very
well designed, everything is accessible quickly and easily, and it swivels out
of the way for easy casting. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Steve and I made our annual fall trip to the Sierra again
last week and here is our report. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"We arrived at the Interpretive Site on Hot Creek at 4 p.m. and
found it uncrowded and loaded with big trout that ignored most of our offerings, although we did manage a few fish on emergers just before it was time to check in at
Hot Creek Ranch. Our first full day of fishing was something we had both
been anticipating for a long time. David de Beaupre, from Sierra Trout
Magnet in Bishop, had invited us on a float trip down a wild section of the
Lower Owens and we were excited to see this untamed area for ourselves. We meet at David's shop and headed for the river. A half hour later
we were floating into a dense tunnel of tules and willows and casting into some
great looking water. The area is tough to get to and gets almost no
traffic, or fishing pressure, so our hopes were high. Fishing turned out to
be quite tough and, although we did catch 6 or 7 fish each we were hoping to
hook some of the bigger trout that inhabit this area, only Steve managed to
stick one really good fish that got off in a weed bed. Great fun and a
trip I want to do again soon. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">We still had time to fish when we got back to the
ranch and Steve and I walked to our favorite spots and fished the last couple
of hours of daylight. I was having a tough time getting fish to rise to
anything in my box and went back to an old favorite, a size 16 Stimulator
skittered and bounced across the riffles. This method brings a lot of
fish up to chase the fly but they are hard to hook. It's a fun way to
spend a couple of hours and I caught fish too. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;">The rest of the week was
spent matching the hatch with the predominant patterns being size 20 and 22
Caddis and BWO in the same sizes. 13'-15' 6x leaders were the norm and
fish were plentiful and willing. It's a great time to be in the mountains
with a fly rod in hand. Get out there!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background: white;">All throughout the South Bay the fishing has
been really good. Perch are averaging 5-15 inches and the Yellowfin croaker
bite is best at first light, on an incoming tide. However, there are still some big
corbina working the shallows this late in the season surprisingly. Actually,
these are some of the biggest I have seen in several years, so if you want to
catch a big corbina, now is the time.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

Anglers focusing more on the negative tide towards the evening have been doing well. Top flies are Olive/White and Blue/White clousers. Santa Monica beaches are fishing well, and surf perch are most popular species caught. Focus on the inside with most fish holding on the structure around 30 feet out. We are seeing perch averaging 4-10 inches. Halibut season is fast approaching and towards the end of October the halibut will be in full swing".</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Catalina has been productive, and we got a big yellow tail last Sunday on a Blue/White surf candy. The Calico bite at Catalina has been good, but there is no sign of the bonito yet. The water has been to warm, and should show up in a few weeks or so. However, there are some nice mackerel around, and we have seen some anchovy moving in on the front side of the island so it should keep the mackerel around, and bring in the bonito. </span></div>

The best times are the negative tide, just before dark. Yellowfin croaker at dusk, and during the day, it's all small surf perch. Top flies are Olive/White and Orange/Brown clousers all fished with 6-8 weight rods, and a 250-300 grain shooting head."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, let's get to the local fishing conditions. The general area has been fishing really well recently and we've gotten some great intel from our condition providers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Vaughmn Podmore sent this over to us regarding the local salt:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Beaches: The beaches are still fishing well for Yellowfin croaker and we are definitely seeing better tides now that things are cooling down a bit. Suggested fly patterns are clousers Brown/Orange, Blue/White and crabby patterns for corbina. See Ken at the shop for my fly patterns and recommendations.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Inshore: The Longbeach break wall is still fishing really well and we are seeing good Calico bass early morning or late afternoon. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Offshore: The bite around Catalina is great. We have found several yellowtail and bonito. The bonito are averaging 8lbs and we have broken off some big yellowtail. Dorado have been hit or miss but if you find the right structure you can find some nice fish. Suggested fly patterns are sardina patterns. See Ken at the shop for my fly patterns.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On my latest exploration, the signs were good. Clear skies and warm weather with fish still starting to show. Given that browns prefer some clouds, gloom or rain I am excited. It's been a rough year for the fish and the cooling of fall as well as possibly some weather should make up for the tough summer. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After walking some of these beats for years as part of the SFF team, I feel that I have gotten a reasonable read on these fish. The big challenge is reading what happens one day and determining what that means for the next.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">Lower Owens: Shaping up nicely for drifting, and things are definately starting to change around here. The trees are turning, and we are seeing some early fall hatches of midges, mayflies and caddis early morning before it gets warm.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Upper Owens: As temperatures cool down we are seeing fish moving up into the river from Crowley for spawning. The Trico hatches are great right now and if you have some time I would head on up and get in on the action.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This last week the guys from the Saltwater Fly Rodders club went out and hooked and landed 7 Sea Bass on the fly! Some of these went up to 25lbs and they broke several off and it's definitely something I want to try.</span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
This week, we got some great intel from our info providers...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Vaughn Podmore from SaltyFly Guide Service sent this over to us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Beaches:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The beaches have been spotty down south and the Santa Anna inlet is your best bet right now. First light is best for targeting corbina and Yellow fin croaker. The top flies have been the "crabby patty" size 6-8 and the clouser olive/ white or orange/ white in size 4.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Inshore:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Newport Harbor has been struggling a bit, but if you put some time in, you will get results. The bays are fishing best on an incoming tide and the Long Beach break wall has been off the hook recently. We have done very well on Calico bass in Long Beach recently and our largest bass of the week came in at 7lbs. Top fly has been the wool head sculpin. Also, the deeper reefs have been producing some good numbers of Calico. Ask Ken at the shop for my fly patterns if you are heading down to fish the bay and he will hook you up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyTAAP51W1-4Wi7IFtIPyokW0GL4fZKfJEGV1CW4z3A1S_-6luRwkGjAQxNfS7aMNrYJSaZ9IRIaIe6mWXDt5-vl0xqpMvg0bejbhjRAsmU0wUYl1uUM9DBxrPTzSluhaxzmei2lZMl_Nk/s1600/Vaughn+Calico.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyTAAP51W1-4Wi7IFtIPyokW0GL4fZKfJEGV1CW4z3A1S_-6luRwkGjAQxNfS7aMNrYJSaZ9IRIaIe6mWXDt5-vl0xqpMvg0bejbhjRAsmU0wUYl1uUM9DBxrPTzSluhaxzmei2lZMl_Nk/s400/Vaughn+Calico.jpeg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Catalina:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Catalina has been fishing pretty well and we are finding decent numbers of bonito and barracuda. The biggest opposition we have had has been the warmer water, but if you know where to look you will find them. Top fly has been a blue and white surf candy and anchovy patterns in black and white are also doing well. If it gets too sunny and the fish are picky, switch up to a light color clouser size 2-4 and you will see results.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Offshore:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The offshore bite has been pretty good. Good size Dorado have been scattered around. We have been focusing on kelp patties around the 272, 209 and 189 spots. Sardine patterns are best and clousers 1/0 fished on 12lb leader. Ask Ken about my fly pattern or recommended patterns for the Socal salt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Next up, our good buddy, Bernard, was down in the San Diego area last week, and judging by the picture, it's fishing pretty well right now. The Santa Monica area is seeing some good fish, and many of the beaches have healthy sand crab beds right now, which are providing an ample food source. Check in at the shop for suggested fly patterns for our local beaches.</span><br />

<br />Joe Contaldi AKA "Matuka Joe" had this to say about Crowley and the Owens:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Crowley Lake is fishing well right now, but the water level is dropping. The most productive area is Mcgee Bay. We have been finding fish early in the mornings and perch patterns are doing best. The <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">algae bloom is coming on and fish are keyed in on the perch fry in coves like 6 Bays as the cruisers are working the shoreline for the perch, but don't count out the midge bite as well. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">The lower and upper Owens is coming on nicely and we are seeing some good fish on nymphs and dries.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
It's been a hot summer, but the fishing has continued to stay strong on several of our Southern California fisheries, namely Crowley Lake and the local beaches. The shop has been extremely busy, and we've been doing a lot of traveling on various fishing trips, but now that the dust has settled and our summer projects are winding down, we can focus on the fall line up that will be coming soon to the shop. The IFTD show in Reno was a blast and we got to see the new products for 2013, plus we got to see some old friends. </span><br />

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The best time for the North End is late afternoon, with good numbers
of 18 to 20-inch fish being landed on both indicators or streamers with
perch patterns. Streamers and perch patterns in size #10-12 are doing great, and the top colors are olive, gray and
black. Make sure to use heavy tippet 3x-1x - there are some really big monsters out
here this year so the heavy tippet will aid in making sure you land them.
Indicator fishing with midge patterns in colors red and black, black and
copper, gray, and silver back are all working well in sizes #14-18 during the morning and afternoon bite. </span></span></div>

The 3a.m. alarm came way too early and the drive to the shop
to meet with the other anglers in the group was made in a caffeine fueled
haze.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The guys were already there
eagerly awaiting the shuttle bus with their gear piled on the sidewalk in front
of the shop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This trip to Cedros
Island with Cedros Outdoor Adventures had been eagerly awaited by the whole
crew and we were finally going to get a chance to tangle with Yellowtail<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on the fly rod.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cedros is justly famous amongst
conventional anglers for it’s superb Yellowtail and Calico Bass fishing but up
until now has not been a popular fly rodding destination. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hoped to change that.</div>

The shuttle was late but, since there was no traffic on the
405, the trip to San Ysidro was a breeze and we met our second shuttle and
transferred the gear to continue the trip through the border to Ensenada where
we would board a charter flight to the island.</div>

Our first indication that all was not as hoped on the
weather front was at the airport in Ensenada when we ran into a group on their
way back who told us that it had been windy with dirty water and Yellowtail
feeding very deep and not breezing on the surface.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not what we wanted to hear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Jose Angel, our host, informed us on arrival that the
Yellowtail were not on the surface, as was usual at this point in the season,
but were being found around 100’-200’ deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trying to get a fly down 100’ is no easy task but some of us
were prepared with plan B, conventional rods and 6oz jigs to get down to where
the fish were feeding. The first two days were tough fly rodding for the
Yellows as they were still feeding 100+ feet down and with heavy current going
West and the wind blowing from the East we found it impossible to get a fly in
front of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did hook one in
about twenty feet of water on a 12wt but it charged into the kelp and wrapped
me and came off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

In addition, <b>Robert Bolt</b> will be in our shop that weekend. Robert makes one of the finest bamboo rods on the market today. If you like Gary Howells' rods, you will love an R.K. Bolt fly rod. Robert bought all the remaining Howells' stock and has also developed his on interpretation of a Howells taper. <br />
