The Prince Nymph is a great go to nymph if you cannot see any surface activity. This is the Nymph version of the Attractor Dry Fly. Personally I always carry 2 with a bead head and 2 without, this fly definitely has to be my go to Nymph. The Prince can also be used to imitate a Stonefly, Backswimmer, or a Dark Mayfly Nymph, if fishing in a run or ripples. This fly has probably caught more Trout on more water for more fisherman than any other Nymph imitation. That is reason enough to throw a couple in yor fly box. If you need a selection check out Orvis!

This is a picture of a Channel Catfish that I caught while fishing at Mile Square Park. It’s actually funny how I caught it, everyone thinks of Catfish as bottom feeders (apparently this cat was not). I was fishing for bass with a Chartreuse Frog Popper, on some grass pads, when all of the sudden bang this fish hit the popper like n tomorrow. So I set the hook and started playing the fish, well after a minute or two I noticed that the fish spinning in circles. I thought to my self this can’t be a Bass, and sure enough it was a 2 1/2 pound Channel Catfish.

The Hopper is a great Terrestrial Fly all throughout the West Coast of the United States. If I am going to be using a terrestrial, you better believe that 9 times out of 10 it is going to be a Hopper. The hopper comes in all shapes and sizes. I have had the best luck on the brightly colored size 14-16 Hoppers. If you need to pick up a couple I recommend a selection from Orvis.

This is a photo of a small Native Rainbow Trout that I caught at Santa Anita Creek in the Angeles National Forest. This really is a unique place to fish in Southern California. There is no stocking that goes on here, so you can fish right as soon as you get on the trail. If you want more info about Santa Anita Creek check out the link under locations on the main blog page.
