Me and Jim Solomon conducted our first fly fishing the surf series at the Fisherman’s Spot this past Saturday and Sunday. We had six very enthusiastic anglers ready to soak up some salty knowledge and hopefully continuing their passion for fly fishing the surf. This form of fly fishing is one of the hardest to perfect but with the proper basics and a little practice is very rewarding and is easily accessible to those living near our blue pacific shores. Me and Jim agree, it is always great sharing knowledge and seeing an angler land their first surf fish on the fly. Hope to see some new faces when we do our next Surf Zone! Special thanks to Ken and Steve at the Fishermen’s Spot for being our gracious hosts and allowing us to use their shop!

fly fish the surf boot camp…
Please click image to enlarge!
If there are any anglers out there wanting to hone their surf fly fishing skills, me and my buddy, Jim Solomon will be doing a two-day surf boot camp over Labor Day weekend.
Please give the Fisherman’s Spot in Van Nuys a call at 818-785-7306, there are still a few spots open… there is one prerequisite, you need to know how to cast, it is not a beginners class.

we will miss you zack!
Zack Solomon just passed away a few hours ago at the tender age of twenty seven from cancer. His dad, Jim Solomon is a very good friend and fishing companion of mine. My prayers and love go out the Solomon family in this extremely difficult time. I am so happy I took this picture last August cause this is the way I will always remember Zack, with his wetsuit, fly rod in hand and a great big smile. PLEASE NOTE CHANGE: Services will be on Monday, April 9th at First United Methodist. Church, 1008 11th Street, Santa Monica, California at 7:00pm. There will be a paddle out memorial off Manhattan Beach pier this Saturday at 10am.
