Sea bass on the fly is a blast as The Big One said! Last year my son and I ran into a 3 acre school of black rocks mixed with lings. While I stayed with the fly, I set my boy up with a jig head and gummy worms. The green and yellow ones seem to work the best but they also are my favorite so we ran out at the end of 2 perfect days there. We had 18 whale sightings.....one 50ft from the boat....lost count of the bass though we did weigh a few at 7lbs, hooked over 20 lings and took home one nice ling for dinner. I prefer to use a med sink clear line on an eight weight for water under 12ft. and a sink tip for deeper water or steep drop offs. I will use a heavy-er tip with more current speed. Clousers work best for me and bunny flies are built to take a lot of fish before they just tear it up. The fishery has so impressed me over the years there that I will be offering fly fishing trips to my clients at Neah Bay and Sekiu this season. A word of caution.....with an 8 wt rod you WILL hook something you cant land at least once a day...I have decided that a 10wt is a little more appropriate for the area.
