Check us out on social media to see what the bug of the week is! BYOB/ BYOW, All ages and experience levels welcome!
The Reef has been the hot spot for anglers looking to get out in the cold, try annelids and midges. The Miracle Mile still has brown tout running, but expect numbers to decline in the coming weeks.
Nymphing:
Dark colored midges have been very effective, as well as red rock worms when on the Reef.
Recommended Flies:
- Midges (Pal, MacGruber, Mayhem) #18-20
- RS2 #18-20 (chocolate, gray)

Streamer Fishing:
The Mile is the place to throw some big bugs, streamers have been most effective when fished very slowly.
