Are you Sisters ready to go Surf Fishing?

Here are the details for the big surf flyfishing adventure during California Dreaming... and be sure to contact me directly at fish@wolffe.com if you have ANY questions...

We are fishing with Gary Bulla http://www.garybulla.com/adventures.htm

We will be fishing for the following fish:
  • Barred Perch and the illusive Corbina (which we will talk about during the training)
  • Guitar Fish (up to four feet in length)
  • Yellowfin Croaker
  • Walleye Perch
  • Halibut
We will be fishing in the surf zone to catch these beauties, getting grin and gripe pictures -- can’t wait 'til the first person holds a 4 foot fish -- then releasing them -- again, just imagine a 4 foot fish...

We will be fishing on Friday, May 1st.

There will be 16 of us fishing that day with Gary and his team, one of whom I understand is our favorite Kern River "go-to-guy", Guy Jeans. http://www.kernriverflyfishing.com/about.htm

We will leave at 9:00am from the Fairgrounds, carpooling to the designated site that Gary will have maps for. This way we can leave when "we are done."

We will attend a class on the beach.

Lunch will be provided by our talented guide, Gary Bulla, and we will continue to fish until we are "done."

The casting technique will be a side arm cast, which is natural for all of us.

You will need:
  • A one day California License with an Ocean Stamp. They can be purchased at any Walmart and Big 5 at east end of town.
  • 6, 7, or 8 weight stiff, fast action rod with a 25 ft. 250 grain integrated Sink tip line. If you don't have one be sure to let me know as soon as possible so we can make sure we have enough for each one of you.
  • Strip Basket - again, let me know if you don't have one, Gary will provide one.
  • Waders
  • Boots
  • Jacket
  • Fanny Pack (no vest)
  • Hat
  • Glasses
  • Nippers
  • Your Lanyard
  • Suncreen
  • Lip Protection
This is going to be an adventure and one we will not forget ....

Contact me directly if you have any questions... fish@wolffe.com
