Santa Catalina Island

Hi All,
    Went out to Santa Catalina Island...fly fishing for Yellowtail.  Weather was nice in the morning, but turned to crap in the afternoon.  I knew it is early in the season to get Yellowtail near the surface, but gave it a try anyway.

After way too much effort...got this little guy on a squid fly:

After the weather turned to crap, we put away the fly gear and dragged out the heavy stuff.  Switched to live squid and went deep with it...and bingo:

Got some nice pics of the island before the weather turned:

No sharks this time....try again in late July when the water has warmed up.

Next up:  Return to the Olympic Peninsula:  Flying and Fishing.

Best regards,
