Here is a photo of a 5 pound Largemouth Bass that I pulled out of Mile Square Park Lake on a Popper Frog. This is the largest City Park Lake Bass that I have caught so far. If you want more info on Mile Square Park Lake check out my link under locations on the main page of the blog.

The Elks Hair Caddis Fly is great stimulator fly for Trout, and is the standard Caddis Fly of the West Coast. I have had many a Trout jump on an Elks hair Caddis when I could not even get them to look at another fly. This fly will float very well on rough water streams, and is deadly with a bright Orange or Red Thread intertwined in the body. I like the 16 & 18 sizes the best.

This is a photo of a Tilapia that I caught on the San Gabriel River Bed at Whittier Narrows. I was using an Olive Woolly Bugger Size 12 and I caught about 20 Tilapia in the couple of hours that I was there. Tilapia are a great easy fish on a fly, and they will hit just about any fly that you throw in the water. I try a dry fly (bright colors) in the Early hours of the day and nymphs and small streamers work very well if the are fished on an extremely slow retrieve. There is also really good sunfish action at Whittier Narrows in the late Spring to early Fall.

The Egg fly is a great fly for a variety of fish. I have heard alot of Fly Fishermen say that they will not fish an Egg Fly because it looks too much like bait. In my opinion that is ridiculous. It is a fly that imitates fish roe when Salmon and other fish are spawning (a natural occurrence in nature). These flies are mainly used on Salmon, Steel head, and Trout. However they also work on other fish such as Whitefish and Carp in the right conditions. This fly is my go to fly when fishing for Carp in a pond or River beds such as the LA River. So next time your out and some spawning is going on tie on a Glo-Bug and see what it does for you.
