Fly Fishing in Los Angeles

The City of Angels is famed for Hollywood and its celebrities, but the star-studded cast of its waters get unfairly overlooked. This sprawling metropolis offers plenty of access points to the Pacific, with its synonymous river giving anglers plenty to hunt. Come fly fishing in Los Angeles and discover SoCal’s real treasure. 

Where to Go

Whether you’re going out for the first time with a fly rod and reel, or you’ve been doing it for years, LA’s saltwater fly fishing scene has plenty to keep you entertained. Beginners can hit the quiet shallow inshore and nearshore waters to test the ropes, while avid anglers will relish the chance to get their fix of fly action in these productive fishing grounds.
 
The rich waters along the coast are home to a range of exciting and delicious fish, giving you the chance to land something delicious to take back to shore. Go after Calico Bass, Sheephead, and many more Californian delicacies and head back with a real Los Angeles fly fishing reward.
 
You can combine your fly fishing experience along the coast with a trip offshore. Experienced anglers can even test their skills and strength against some monster creatures, such as Yellowfin Tuna or even a Mako Shark. 
 
Beginners can also hop aboard some longer trips and hit up Catalina Island. This stunning, productive isle in the heart of the Pacific offers the chance to test your skills against the usual inshore suspects, with the addition of Yellowtails too. Bring the whole family aboard and indulge in some sunbathing or swimming on the pristine beaches. 

What to Expect

In order to get out to the deep waters of the Pacific, you’re going to need a big boat. Most Los Angeles fly fishing charters take place aboard large offshore sportfishing vessels, which come fitted with your comfort in mind. Take in the rays on the open deck, or relax and unwind in the comfortable cabin as you head to sea. 
 
As most captains offer conventional fishing trips too, you’ll have the chance to mix it up a little bit. Why not try trolling, bottom fishing, and a range of other techniques as well as fly fishing to make the most of your day? 

How to Prepare

With most charters specializing in other forms of fishing, your captain may not provide fly fishing equipment. Check before you go if you should bring your own. 
 
Some charters will also offer refreshments in the form of drinks and snacks, and sometimes even lunch. But again, this isn’t a rule of thumb, so get in touch with your charter operator before heading aboard to avoid disappointment.  
 
Other than that, all you need to remember is to grab your CA fishing license and you’re good to go! Why not make Los Angeles your next fly fishing destination, and battle it out with the true stars of this city?

Layers of clothes. Process matters - keep an open mind. Bluefin is a little risky, but very satisfying.

Summer might be the best time, since season is open for rockfish. And you can also target halibut, sheephead and bigger game fish. But even in winter (February) you can get lots of action fishing for sculpin, bass, and white fish.
