The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

This is a family trip near where there happen to be fish, as opposed to a fishing trip with family... So I'm not getting a load of fishing time. We got in yesterday and I went out with my dad to see the beach... it's huge... kind of like getting to Lake Siskiyou and not knowing much about lake fishing... we cast around a bit... wind blowing really good, high tide... not factors that stack up in our favor. No fish even seen.

This AM I got out when my little, tiny, beautiful daughter went down for a nap... low tide, less wind... I could see a bridge of dead coral heading out into the little bay. Walked out as far as I dares and started casting... about the third cast I hooked something, it took some line off, felt really nice and then I was off. Cast around a bit more and didn't feel another fish. I don't really know what I'm doing out here in the salt, but it is fun to try new things.

This is probably going to be how it goes for the next couple days... traveling with a 15 month old does not let itself to lots of fishing time, but we are having a grand time anyway.
