I really like the Rio Custom Cut Outbound line (T-11) with the head trimmed to 30ft. This will give you 330 grns of fast sinking line.

Happy Birthday!

Welcome DuckDog. Have you found the joy of combining your love of the surf with your love of fly fishing yet? If not, there's a wonderful world of fly fishing adventures right in your back yard. The sandy beaches and quiet bays of Southern Calif are just filled with fun fish to catch.

So Sorry!

How do you survive without blueberry pancakes for breakfast?

July is winding down and I volunteered to to be the guest judge for the month. Post your best fish picture and/or best picture that captures the essence of fly fishing. Please, only one entree in each category and each picture needs to have been taken during the month of July (this year). Thanks.

I like to pack some English Muffins and a bit of honey. Butter up one side, toast them up in a fry pan and spread the honey on them. Makes a great tasty breakfast.

Have fun up there and I hope you get to slip out and enjoy some time of the water soon. I'll be down in San Diego County the last week of July and the main purpose of the trip from my wife's and daughter's perspective will be to strip wall-paper and paint the new house. Of course, from my perspectiv...

Dean said it better than I can. You took exactly the right steps to express your concerns.

I can take July (but first I'm going to brush up on "How to win friends and influence enemies" )
