Hadnt cast a fly rod in probably 4 months before i picked up my rod this morning to chase some cutthroats on the beaches. My buddy and I loaded up our gear and headed off to the canal to see what we could find. After a long walk down to the beach we we immeadiately rewarded with some resident cohos. We fished sparse euphasid patterns and some clousers. Everything we tried hit atleast a couple fish before they seemed to figure it out.
I was really trying to find some cutties so i walked down around the point to a small bar where i usually find fish and it wasnt long before i hooked up. Nothing big, but there were plenty and very eager fish. Some of them looked to be days back from the fresh water. beautiful color to their gil plates and vibrant red slashes on their jaws.
A great day on the water. it was nice to have a fly rod back in my hands.

I've been blackmouth fishing out of seabeck the last 2 days and today went by myself so i brought a fly rod after awhile of downrigger fishing I got bored and tried to catch a src but got skunked. glad to hear u had some luck, it was my first time fishing for src in the seabeck area, I think I like the lower canal better but I"m sure there are some nice fish there

There are some really nice cutties in the seabeck area. I cant wait to get my boat back over there and fish this summer.
It was nice being out but i forgot how much more efficient you are when fishing from a boat. walking the beach is such a waste of time.

wading the shore is pretty lame, i can hardly get myself to do it the last few years
