Saturday November 16th fly fishing meet up

Ok, lets make this thing happen.

Saturday the 16th fly fishing meet up for perch and maybe a striper or two..

Post up areas you would like to fish and we can pick one as the date gets closer based on weather conditions and any fishing intel.

I have never surf fly fished and would have to check the date but would like to learn. I live in the turlock aera.  I normally ocean fish out of moss landing but don't mind fishing somewhere else.

I'm going to build one this week i think, but might have to take you up on that for the day if i dont get to it.  I like San Gregorio area. Good access and not too hard to get to.

Just fyi...
San Gregorio (Parking lot does not have access to the beach. Blocked by the creek. You can reach the beach by walking down the path at the south end of the highway overpass, or park at the sunbather parking 300 yards north of the state beach parking [open at 10am]. Fishing is usually more productive on the north side of the parking lot.)

Linda Mar is not a fishing friendly beach, especially with a large group. Overrun by surfers.

I assume we're wearing waders so i usually just go through the creek. As for parking, I just park at the lot by 1 and 84. Some of my biggest perch come from the north side of that beach.  Linda mar can be okay but is usually a striper beach. RV's or Apartments are better usually.

Santa Cruz is way too south for me.  That is a 4 hour drive one way.  It needs to be further north for me.

Santa Cruz is going to be about an hour and a half for me too. And especially with beach traffic as well.

just checked swell for the day... 6-8 foot along the coast eek

Ugh, high surf and fly fishing generally not a good mix. You want to wade in order to get ANY distance, but don't even want to put the ankles in the water. Not to mention the perch generally become dormant on those days at least for me.

6-8 foot swells?  No thanks.  I usually go chest deep at times.

I personally won't be going.  If yo do go, please be extra safe.

Yeah this is going to have to be delayed is my guess.. Might be a "clean the garage" weekend for me

Yeah.........
I'm getting wet! Santa Cruz for me protected from the north swell looks doable north of Manresa.  Besides I got to try out the new rod!  Lets defenetly plan for something moving forward.  Perch fishing only gets better from here on out.

Any one wants to join, let me know.

No bites hu?  Not even the locals? Swell gets them feeding a long period gives us time to fish.  Well there should be some structure developing.
See you out there
