<p>Where is the closest fishing spot besides the ocean (fresh water)? Wondering if I should bring my fly pole? Thanks!</p>
<p>noooooooo. even in most fresh water areas, the water doesn't move fast enough for you to use that. maybe in Bishop, but that's far from UCLA. also, unless you're really good, i wouldn't bother because there is hardly any space to cast (narrow rivers and lots of trees).</p>
<p>deep sea fishing is your best bet.</p>
<p>Did you know that you can fly fish from the beach? My husband does it all the time. He uses a long pole with saltwater flies. He catches surf perch, halibut, and sometimes small sharks! He goes early morning at low tide, and fishes in the "low holes" in the sand.</p>
<p>Good idea Band Mom. Thanks for the tip. :)</p>
