So when it comes to fly fishing for Corbina, considering they can be worse than permit at times, the fly selection can be crucial in success in fooling the SoCal Bonefish know as the “ bean” or Corbina. 

Having the right fly to present can mean the difference between getting a take or a major refusal. The majority of the time chasing these fish up and down the surf the we are fishing them in very shallow water, therefore they get a very good look at our fly. Playing this sight fishing game can be rewarding but also can be  down right frustrating if your fly isn’t to there liking......

BEST DRY FLIES 

   There are millions of different dry flies that exist today.  They are designed to mimic insects like mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies and terrestrials.  Dry flies can be tied from natural materials such as deer hair and hackle feathers, to synthetic materials like foam and rubber legs.  No matter which one you choose to fish with, it has to do two things.  Float, and be durable.

We all know Trout of all sorts and sizes will eat flies and bugs of all varieties, and you can catch some big fish during the big hatches of Salmonflies or Green Drakes. 

However, when consistently targeting the biggest trout in a river, it is no mystery that big Trout like big flies. In particular, big trout (especially Browns) specifically seek out and target larger meals.  The most consistent large meals in any water are Baitfish/Leeches/Crayfish, etc.  Therefore, when targeting these big trout, it makes the most sense to use our Trophy Streamers, the large streamer flies that best replicate the proportions that they seek.

Their fishing program is built around targeting the biggest native Rainbow Trout in the world. During the months of September and October, these massive non-anadromous Rainbows move from the lake and into the river to gorge themselves on salmon eggs, flesh, and leeches. They run from September 1^st to November 1^st  because this is the prime time to catch these monster ‘bows by way of the fly.

You can say we have gone a little more fly crazy than normal this year. As an example, with our last order we added over 20 new patterns in a ton of different color. That makes for over 70 new patterns. Most of the new additions have been in the Competition/Perdigon Flies and Trophy Streamers. We also added new Streamer and Musky Flies as well. Here’s a few of our favorite new patterns.
