Urban Fly Fishing can be a very strange thing! There are days where everything goes just as you had planned and then there are days that leave you scratching your head in disbelief. Last Saturday my wife’s younger sister was out from Vegas and they decided to go get their hair done, so I picked up the fly rod and off I went. Now I only had about two hours to fish before dark, and I decided to do a little recon over at Alamitos Bay. I hooked up on two Spotted Soles on a sandy beach right away (they both came off I might add) and the bite went dead. Until I stumbled upon a little make shift dock and flung a Clouser Deep Minnow underneath it. After about 30 minutes I had caught 5 Lizardfish and was having a blast. While catching the last of the 5 fish a guy who had set up shop behind me to see what I was catching dubbed me “The Lizard Wizard”. It’s amazing what joy Fly Fishing brings me, and every day I become more and more addicted to the ways of the Urban Fly Fisherman.

Never seen one of those fish before.
They sit on the bottom waiting to strike passing prey. Alot of guys catch them around piers, pilings, any kind of water stucture with a sandy bottom!
