Default Surf Perch - Oregon & Washington Coast

You should have parked your Ferrari so they could have seen you get out of
it. They have soem nice stuff in there but it's not the type of place I
stop at before I go on a trip. I used to go in at lunchtime when I worked
close enough to walk over. They use to have some nice artwork in there.
Going downtown in Portland is getting to be more trouble all the time if I'm
around there I drop in but gooing there is not a destination trip.
I have read something by John Shewy on flyfishing for Redtail Perch in
surf. I can't remember if it was a book or an artical in a magazine.
I am going to give them another shot when I go south of Coos Bay sometime
this summer. I have caught perch in northern Cal on flies and I think
it's a matter of finding the right hole in the rocks.

You must live near Portland...Last time I was in this shop, I was wearing
jeans and an ole favorite T-shirt and I was completely ignored...Their

loss,
I had $3.00 to spend and they didn't get any of it and I would have

probably
spent the majority of my stash right then and there...sheeeeesh

I don't know anyone who's been to this. The people at the store won't

talk
to your unless you have $100 bill hanging out of your pocket.
IME ff for perch in Oregon is difficult unless you get into the rocky
shorelline on the south coast.

My job will take me often to the coast and I want to try my hand at

Fly
Fishin' for Surf Perch. I see that Bill Kiene has a seminar at his

shop
with Ken Hanley and Jay Murakoshi and they will be teaching two

one-day
surf
perch clinics for Kiene's Fly Shop on June 12 and June 13, Saturday

and
Sunday, near Watsonville, California.

I would love to attend, but I am hoping someone nearer to home has

some
expertise on this fishery. Any suggestions on fly lines, technique,

flies
etc. would be appreciated.
