Our May Speaker is Fly-Fishing Guide Dagur Gudmundsson. Dagur hails from Iceland.
“Whether you want to stalk carp in ankle-deep water on the freshwater flats, or cast little sand crab imitations into the surf for perch, the Central Coast offers a year round fishery that should not be taken for granted, and should be utilized. I love sharing my love for the sport and the philosophy behind fly fishing, and creating awesome memories on the water.
“I’ll be presenting ‘Fly Fishing the Central Coast’ to the Long Beach Casting Club. My focus will be on the unique fisheries of the stretch of land between Santa Barbara and Monterey Bay. From wide-open carp flats, crystal-clear mountain rivers full of white bass and spotted bass, to the surf and tide pools, the Central Coast has a lot of awesome fisheries, unique fisheries, and some big wild fish.
“The fly fishing options of the area are often overlooked, and when I started fishing here, there wasn’t much information out there, except on the surf fishing and the steelhead fishing. So I spent countless hours and days putting in work hiking all the shorelines of the lakes of the area, looking for carp and bass, and fishing the salt: not just the beaches, but the tide pools, where you can go at low tide and target rockfish, cabezon, and ling cod in the shallows.
