I've been to the jetty a few times recently, trying to get the craziness of the world out of my head. It hasn't really worked.
The wind direction tells me which side to fish, and I don't go if it's raining. The dry rocks are slick enough.
Like the bigger world, the jetty can be an unforgiving place- small slips can lead to big problems. I got my foot stuck in a hole on a recent trip. It was a big water day and the swell was shooting up through the rocks as I tried to get it out, filling my boot and drenching my leg. It was spooky for a minute or so.
It is possible to catch these, but it isn't a regular occurrence. This smallish one had almost unbelievable blues.
Once this...
turns to this...
you can catch a few of these.
Prepare to lose some flies, and try to pick up some garbage on your way out.
