Socal Fish and Hang
United Women on the Fly (UWOTF) and Fly Fish Instruct are coming to Southern California. We are teaming up with two of our favorite humans, Analiza del Rosario and Lino Jubilado, to have a FREE day of beach fishing and “hanging”.
This event is the UWOTF fish and “hang” event model. Everyone comes out for the day to fish and hang. It’s budget friendly, gender inclusive and ALL are welcomed. Bring your equipment to fish for Corbina and Leopard Sharks or come and borrow gear and learn the basic techniques of surf fishing. This is a DIY event and not guided by the co-hosts.
