While many fly fishers focus on trout, SouthWest Waters embraces the diverse local fisheries, offering opportunities to catch a variety of species right in their backyard. From the stunning Sierra mountains to the vast blue ocean, the SouthWest Waters team explores every available waterway. San Diego's unique environment provides fly anglers with incredible diversity, allowing for a full day of fishing that can include largemouth bass in the morning, carp midday, surf fishing in the afternoon, and even nighttime bay fishing. They specialize in targeting local species not typically considered fly fishing targets, such as spotted bay bass, calico bass, barred sand bass, croaker, halibut, mullet, corvina, corbina, perch, various rays, and even sharks in saltwater from the shore. Adding freshwater species like largemouth bass, panfish, and carp creates a true fly fishing smorgasbord.
