October 24-31 will be Gonzaga on the FLY. Yes some will not fly fish, but.......
You do not need to spend all week, you do not need to leave with us, but you will need to eat with us and share the fishing!!!

Hey Bob. Do you ever catch the hold spot bass in Gonzaga? They're in the same genus (paralabrax) as dpotyies, dandies, and Calis. I think the Mexicans call them estrahenos. Beautiful fish n great eating. Mike

Always found them in deeper water, 200-400 feet deep reefs. GREAT eating fish. And yes we used to catch them here from the pangas.

This last trip to Gonzaga produced 100 fish days for a couple guys. Bass were all over the place, from the beach to 130 feet. Bigger bass, to 4 pounds were caught in deeper water..............water was between 72-77 degrees, mornings seemed much fishier. After high tide things really slowed down. Tight Lines.

I have caught a few down there in as little as 40 feet on the reefs

4th of July trip was good to great fishing for Spotties, a couple in the 4-5 pound class were caught on the FLY. With many smaller fish lineing up to take your fly, cast after cast, almost non stop action. Water temps at 85 degrees. Tight Lines.

Must have been Summertime and hotter than hell because the sun burned a hole right through your head!

Spring is almost here. Time to be thinking about warmer weather and Baja Bass. Spotties should be getting on the chew, Spring and early summer trips are the best time of the year for spotted bass around Gonzaga. Throw in some triggers and a cabrilla or two and it can be 100+ fish days for those few anglers willing to brave the possible Spring winds. Tight Lines.
