Well, it’s finally here, (it was a long time coming!) my new apparel store is up on this blog with some fun classics and some new Q tee-shirt designs and other fun stuff like face masks and skateboard decks. It’s up in the menu under “Love2Flyfish Apparel”. Poke around and I hope you will be able to find something inspirational to wear when your out fishing. Please share with your fishing friends, I would really appreciate it. Tight lines but not too tight. LOL
Who knew the puffer fish had artistic, mathematical abilities? …and they eat flies. lol

With water temps right where they need to be we have seen many nice size fish cruising the shallow surf line this week. With many new anglers out corbina sight casting, scrambling for prime real estate, please be mindful to give others space when casting. I caution the posting of backgrounds on social media, they tend to give away areas we have discovered and been fishing for many more years than the new wave of anglers have. Have fun but please be respectful.

Our buddy Ken Harata landed his PB halibut a few days ago on a Qs pink Holy Moley fly cast into a nice deep trough, literally 40 feet off the sand. Photos of Ken by Jim Solomon.
Although we are seeing a bunch of beans landed this week, they are still playing hide and seek, moving slowly along trough edges. The water temps off our local beaches should begin to rise as we near the end of June, look for them to hit that magic 67-68 mark and the corbina should be all over the place.
Dust off you gear, its almost showtime….
This is a beautiful little film from Patagonia about fly fishing and how simple life can really can be! Love this!

This is a really cool concept by a fellow fly fisherman and friend, Rick Olson of Olson Visual located in Torrance, California. Rick has been working closely with the CDC compliance and came up with a fun solution to help people stay safe at work with this aluminum T3, framed plexi panel that you can attach to your desktop work station. He etched this sample with one of my striped bass illustrations but as you can see, you can use any vector art or company logo to adorn the clear panel. For more info please contact Olson Visual at support@olsonvisual.com Thanks and stay safe…
