I have not fly fished " yeT", But some of the people I know do. All the advice given you from the above peopple is quite acurate. These guys know what they are doing. The only advise I will give that some have not is 1. fish close, I surf fish and it took me a long time to find this out on my own. The whitewater can be very productive as well as jetties etc. Also the most important, watch out for the under tow, the currents in this area can be deadly. I have noticed fly fisherman have a tendancy to push the limit in the surf. Watch rour footing. Good Luck
