There aren't a lot of guides or sport boats that cater to coastal or offshore fly fishermen in Southern California. Here's the most comprehensive list we could come up with.

If you are a guide or sportboat operator who would like to be listed, please contact us with your particulars...

The San Diego area is the southernmost region in SoCal. Its proximity to Mexico means that it sees more fish, sooner and longer, than regions to the north. As you might expect, the number of guides is larger.

Oddly enough, even though the Los Angeles and Orange County areas are the most populous regions in SoCal, there are relatively few guides who offer coastal and offshore fly fishing trips, even though there are a number of areas that can provide good fishing.

Oxnard, Ventura and Santa Barbara areas feature species that favor cooler waters, such as kelp bass, white seabass and halibut, except in the spring and summer months, when pelagic species such as barracuda, bonito, and yellowtail make an appearance.
