Southern California has many fly-worthy bays and harbors.  For inshore trips we launch from the L.A. Harbors (Long Beach area), Dana Point or Newport Bay, depending on where our clients are coming from and how the different waters are fishing.  After launch, expect a 10-15 minute boat ride to the fishing grounds where we fish from sunrise until 12:30.  Fishing times may vary with tidal movement and individual needs. 

We provide all fly and light tackle gear, including leaders, flies and lures for up to two anglers, unless you prefer to use your own.  Our clients fish from our Parker 21SE center console using high end gear, like Sage and Winston rods, with Tibor, Abel, and Waterworks reels.  

For those bringing their own gear, 6-8 weight rods with 200-300 grain integrated shooting heads or intermediate lines are sufficient. We use fluorocarbon tippet from 6-12 lbs. depending on structure and conditions.  Flies are usually size 4-6 baitfish imitations, such as clouser minnows.  We also use small bonefish patterns. 


We recommend wearing a windbreaker and layers on cold mornings.  Please bring your fishing license.  Water and soda will be available, and some fishermen bring snacks or a light lunch.  

$350 flat rate for one or two anglers. 


Please email info@pcflyfishing.com with further questions regarding location, rates, gear, etc.  Check out the Coastal Photos Page to see a variety of coastal and bay species.  We are looking forward to fishing with you this season!
