• Cost: $15 for GSF members, $45 for non-members
• Day 1 -- classroom session at Scripps
• Day 2 -- Beach session in our local surf zone

The classroom session is at Scripps on Thursday, from 7-9 pm, and a beach session
at 7-11 am on Saturday, probably in Mission Beach.

Feel free to bring interested friends and family - cost is $15 for GSF members, $45 for non-members. Please bring a check made out to Golden State Flycasters to the class.

For the beach session, please bring the following (we will discuss equipment in
the classroom session, and will discuss options; note that a heavy-ish trout
outfit will work) but if you have it:

Rod 7-8 wt, 9 foot med. fast to fast rod (workable: 5 wt or higher) Reel anodized reel with 100 yards or more of backing Line 300 grain Rio DC striper or SA Streamer Express shooting head line (workable: fast sinking line) Leader 6 feet of 8 lb Maxima or similar
Flies 3 or 4 bonefish style flies, with barbell eyes (workable: brown woolly flash-a-buggers)
SD Fly Shop and has the latest and greatest surf flies, Strouds too.

Glasses to protect your eyes!!! Waders with boots, or wet wade with swimsuit, boots/sandals (water is 60+ deg F, air is warmish). (most surf fly fishers opt for waders except in July, August, Sept) Stripping basket - Orvis ($59 yikes), LL Bean ($20, out of production), collapsible (various), home-brew (Rubbermaid 11 quart dishpan from Vons, nylon strap with buckle, weedtrimmer fingers - total about $8). I have a couple that I can loan out. Cap, hat (or bike helmet - depending on your casting ability - just a joke)

I WOULD APPRECIATE it very much if you would email me to tell me that you are
coming or not so that I can prepare enough class materials.

I will send directions to the Scripps classroom later for those who sign up.

Thanks!
