Meet Jesse….Now Jesse is a fairly new customer to TFS.  

He came into the shop about 3-4 months ago interested in fly fishing for trout at Poway Lake. 

So he picked up his first set-up and went at it with success. 

As Spring rolled around Jesse came back in showing interest in bass so we picked out a handful of bass flies and off he went. 

This is the pic I get a week later, a 8 1/2lb largemouth his first bass on the fly at Santee Lakes.

Now that goes to show you don't always need a boat to catch big bass on the fly.

Nice work Jesse, not a bad way to start!

When it comes to targeting bass on the fly in SoCal there certainly isn't any shortage of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds in which these fish call home. To be exact there are over 17 lakes and reservoirs in San Diego county alone within 50 miles of each other. As you move into Riverside county and beyond that number begins to grow as well. Knowing what to look for on your local lakes can help dramatically in your search for the largemouth bass.

We have a bunch of event slated for this spring and summer at The Fly Stop. Demos, Fly Tying and a Tournament will all be happening over the next couple of months. We will be keeping all of this up to date as thing get added to our calendar......
