Do any of you fellows fly Fish the surf between Del Mar Ca down to the Torrey pine. I seen some guys catch Corbina nad Perch with a fly rig and
small shrimp. Any infor or good places you can tell me about.
Thanks,

Charlie,
All of the sandy beaches of San Diego County can be productive for the surfzone fly fisher throughout the year. The Torrey Pines area is one of the most popular. Another is the area around the river mouth by the horse racing track. These areas tend to be popular because they are easily accessible - but any sandy beach area can be good. All of this area can be pretty good at times. The thread reached by the following link has a post that describes some of the keys to finding productive surfzone areas.
Another SoCal Surf Flyfishing site:[url=http://www.fliflicker.com:e1fce]FliFlicker[/url:e1fce]
Just a private site-no commercial content here, and lots of “how to”, fly pattern archives, maps to beaches including parking places and a BBS for bite reports…

Tailingloop, Thank you sir fir the info. Ok which salt water reel should I look at for the surf? I’ve seen a few At cabella and Andy Montanas but I cant spend $400-$500 dollars on a real alone. Any ideas. Allso, if I change out of spool to the corect line and leader weight, can’t I use the same rig at the lake?
Answer what you can, and thank you very much.

Charlie,
I have been using two Orvis Battenkill Disc reels for 10 years in the surf, bays, and freshwater. Though scratched up, they still work as well today as when they were new. I rinse them well after every salt trip, as you should with any reel used in the salt, and take them apart and clean them real thouroughly a couple of times a year. These reels are very easy to disassemble for cleaning, which I think is a positive feature when used in a sandy environment. These reels are still in production. The 5/6 models is $79 and the 7/8 model is $89. Extra spools are $30. I use the 7/8 model for surf and bay as well as for largemouth bass and even trout. It is a good match for a 6, 7, or 8 wt rod. The Battenkill Bar Stock reels are about $30 more with the same drag but a machined frame and spool instead of a cast frame and spool. My expensive Abel, Ross, and Loomis reels never see the surf.
These reels are available at Stroud Tackle and probably Andy Montanas. It is cheaper to buy from the local stores since if you order from Orvis you pay for reel plus tax plus shipping.
I’m not sure how the lower cost Cabelas reels would hold up in the saltwater environment.
Another good option are the Echo reels which are $69. I have one of these but prefer the Orvis Battenkill.
Some other possibilities are the Cortland Endurance ($89), Redington SV ($99), and Pfluger Trion ($109), Orvis Battenkill Mid Arbor (around $120), Redington CD (around $130), and Teton Tioga (around $150).
Frank Selby of His and Hers Fly Shop in Costa Mesa told me that they had been real impressed with the Cortland Endurance 5/6 when used for surf and bay fishing. I have a couple of Teton reels and they are very dependable.
