Catalina Fly Fishing Report 06/06/09 & 06/07/09
Had clients on Saturday and
Sunday over to Catalina Island. Both days were good for calico's and
big bonito. I was surprised at how well the bonito were taking the fly
on a slower calico strip. Water temperature is running around 63
degrees depending on where you're fishing. The first bonito caught on
Sundays trip was on a 6wt. Sage Z-axis 691-4 by Keith Munemitsu. The
fish really tested this outfit, but still lost. Also on the boat was a
Montana fly fishing guide Mike Mansfield and his friend Jason. Everyone
caught big bonito and lots of calico's. Double's on the calico bass was not uncommon.

Today Bryan Webb from Pacific Coast Fly Fishing Charters reported great fishing as well. They also hooked some good barracuda which were all eaten by giant black sea bass. Bryan said it was one of the most impressive things he's seen on the water. Needless to say Catalina is fishing well!
Hope to see you on the water.
