The Permit fishing in 08' has started out with a bang. During a recent January warming trend I had the pleasure of fishing with west coast anglers Bill Williams and Don Riesen. We had outstanding permit fishing accumlating close to 50 quality shots in 4 days of fishing. We had to fight through some cool water on the first couple of days. But the fishing steadily improved each day.
With the cooler water the Permit can be a little tough to feed a fly. Although you will see them tailing, they are generally filter the sand and mud for small crusteans, like Hermit crabs, clams and worms. They will eat a well presented crab fly but they just are'nt quite that aggresive yet, and they are not really looking for them.
When the water temps reach into the mid to upper 70's again they will really turn on and provide fly anglers with some great catches. Until then keep at it.
We did manage to hook into a couple nice fish over the 4 day period. Including this fish in the 20 lb class.
