Just moved to Lakewood from Battle Ground and would like to start fly casting for SRC's from the local beaches.
Yes I know, so do a lot of other guy's who have been paying their dues, long before I got here!
I'm retired and can fish anytime, but I am wondering... Incoming tide/outgoing? ...At the turn of a high or low? ...Morning, Midday, Evening? I am not asking you to freely give up the secrets of your years of experience...but, if there are any generally accepted 'rules of thumb' about when it's better to fly fish the beaches, I'd like to know before I make a fool of myself.
I've been scouting a few of the local beaches (Area 11 & 13) at midday lately, but thus far, have not sighted any fish (or flyfisher's), so I'm thinking midday isn't optimal unless you want to hook a bikini. On the other hand, maybe it's just that no one fishes on their lunch break anymore...
So what are the natives going to tell me..." just go get your boots wet"?
I'd gladly trade some beach fishing for a day float on the Cowlitz.
If that helps persuade you, send me a PM.
Thanks
