The Crazy Charlie is an awesome fly for Surf Fishing the So Cal Coast. It is a great imitator of a handful of different Crabs and Shrimp that  species like Surf Perch, Yellow Croaker, Corbina, Sand Bass, and many others will snatch up. Southern California offers great opportunities from Ventura County all the way down to the end of the San Diego coast line. So Pick up your 6 or 8 wight with sinking tip line and hit the surf. Don’t forget to pick up a good selection over at The Trout Spot.

The other day I just needed to get in some time on the water, and the closest Park Lake had to do. I hopped in the truck and there I was in less than 10 minutes with Fly Rod in hand and a readiness to fish.

Sometimes fishing doesn’t go the way you want it to and the catching becomes more like searching and coming up empty. So after a while and only 2 fish caught I decided to take a few pictures of the beautiful sunset.

I hear from so many people things like “Why would you want to fish at a Park Lake?” or “You Fly Fish around the corner from your house, that can’t be very pretty?”

Well take a look at these pictures and tell me that a Park Lake can’t be as beautiful as a stream in the hills of Montana. Beauty is in the perspective and my mine says that fishing in the city holds a mystique all it’s own. Try it sometime and see if it doesn’t get into your blood.

Since I started “Brownlining“, I don’t remember looking at a body of water without thinking “I know I could pull a fish out of there“.

The California Department of Fish and Game has posted the list of the fishing spots that they will be stocking this week for Region 5-South Coast Region. Remember to practice catch and release as much as possible, pick up trash when you see it, and respect this resource so that everyone can enjoy it!!!
