Hi Folks:

I'm about 3 weeks away from a 3 week road trip with the family from
Vancouver British Columbia down to Corona Del Mar south of LA to visit my
sister.

I'm interested in links or fishing info on the area around Long Beach and
possibly some chance to fish for steelhead and sea run cutthroat in Oregon
or trout in Northern California. I'm not looking for much - just a chance
to
wet a line for an hour or two in the evening and a half or full day around
Long Beach- Newport Beach (I've heard good things about King's Harebor?).

I primarily flyfish - advice on rod size and flies for Southern California
would be appreciated. I won't have a boat or water craft but renting or a
charter aren't out of the question.

Just to wet a line do a search on Pier Fishing for Ca. The tuna and the big
balls of bait fish are moving north now. The long range boats in So Cal are
bringing in limits. By the time to get to Ca you should be able to see
large schools of bait fish along with the following predators off the So Cal
piers. Also, I'm pretty sure pier fishig is free in Ca.
