I love spring. The heavy rains that fall in February and March mean the reservoirs around San Diego will be filling up with water, creating some great carp flats for wading and sight casting to tailing carp come April, May and June. Waking the hard sand flats at some some of our local carp "ponds" and casting crayfish patterns to some big "tailers" is about as good as it gets for fly rod sight casting. It's very much like casting to Redfish on the marsh in Louisiana without the travel.
I was lucky enough to get a beautiful EastCape Caiman flats skiff recently delivered from Florida. This baby is going to bring flats skiff fishing to So Cal. not only for carp but for spring time and summer bass.
As I sit here looking out at the rain falling outside , I know carp season is just a couple of week away. Man I can't wait!
