We stock a broad inventory of freshwater and saltwater fly fishing rods, reels, lines, flies, fly tying tools, fly tying materials, and fly fishing accessories to meet your fly angling needs in Southern California, the Eastern Sierra Nevada, and beyond. The products in stock include Temple Fork Outfitters (TFO) and Redington fly rods and fly reels, Lamson and Galvan fly reels,  Rio fly lines, leaders, and tippet, and a broad range of fly tying materials and tools sourced from Hareline Dubbin, Wapsi, Dr. Slick, Peak, and Renzetti.  We have the largest selection of fly tying materials in San Diego.  For those getting started with fly fishing with a matched and balanced setup we have Redington Path Combos in 4, 5, 6 ,7, and 8 weight  four section rod setups.  These combos include the Crosswater or Path fly rod, appropriately sized Crosswater fly reel,  Rio Mainstream floating fly line, fly line backing, leader, and a case the hold the rod with the reel mounted and result in a savings of over $50 compared to purchasing the components separately.

San Diego County offers year round freshwater and saltwater fly fishing opportunities for multiple species whether angling afoot or from on the water and is about a six hour drive from the trout waters of the Eastern Sierra Nevada.  Many adventurous anglers travel by road to Baja California to fish the beaches and estuaries on the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez. From much of the city of San Diego and surrounding cities and communities it is possible to be fly fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, carp, or saltwater species within 30 minutes.  Even trout are available in local lakes during fall and winter months.
