Up until this monster swell the surf perch fishing has been good and getting better. The last 3 weeks have been perfect for fly fishing in the surf zone with small swells, big tides and great fishing weather on the coast.

Drove to the CA Delta to fish with friend and Simms Rep John Sherman. It was a rainy and beautiful day. It was pretty windy but we were able to find some great spots to hide from the wind in Discovery Bay. Chartreuse and olive is what they liked. A good number of Large Mouth mixed in. The fish are grabby it’s just a matter of finding some big ones.

As Klamath veterans know,...
