I went beach fly fishing for Red Tail Surf Perch [Tofino, BC]

[@driftstone]

Makes me regret never having tried this when I lived on the ocean as a kid. Great video Rosin, really enjoyed it

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Thank you Eric :). It was really a good time!

[@God1ess]

Another great Rosin video! Always looking forward to new episodes 🤙🏼

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Thank you very much! It was nice to add some fish to a video for a change 😂

[@Sturgeon85]

Right on! Now gotta find the big rainbow surfperch and pileperch that visit that area

[@RosinFlyFishing]

I'll have to google those haha, but yeah man this is a hugely underrated/low key fishery!!!

[@Sturgeon85]

​@@RosinFlyFishingthey like docks. I've caught both right in Tofino

[@JacobPope]

Nice work, they look like a good fighting fish and putting quite a bend in your 8wt. This is getting me so hyped for my upcoming trip! Fingers crossed I can get into a few.

[@RosinFlyFishing]

They would be even better on a 5 or 6 weight. Get hyped and go hunting!!

[@briancrowe8383]

Well done. I never would have thought of fly fishing in the West Coast surf but it looks like good fun (when the surf is small!).

[@RosinFlyFishing]

It is great fun!! Thanks Brian 🙂

[@headfakez]

That's awesome dude hope you had a great time thumbs up!

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Thank you! I definitely loved casting and catching in the waves!! 🙂

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

I just had to rewatch this! I finally got some stuff for it I’m gonna hit the beach tomorrow give it a shot!

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Nice man hopefully a surfer karen gets up in your face and you catch a hundred perch 😎🤙

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

@@RosinFlyFishing I picked the wrong day the surf was way too big

[@RosinFlyFishing]

if that happens try a smaller stretch of beach, the surf is usually smaller. in Tofino where I went the surf was directly proportional to the expanse of the cove which is pretty neat!@@CA2CAoutdoors

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

@@RosinFlyFishing here it’s the direction the beach faces and there’s a swell so it would be a loooong drive to find it smaller I’ll try again in a few days

[@RosinFlyFishing]

@@CA2CAoutdoors oh cool I'm not an expert lol maybe the direction and the expanse and the geography are all critical variables 😂

[@blackflycreations]

Cool video Rosin! I'd keep a few for dinner "good eatin panfish".. Glad you found the school! Take care ✌️

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Haha next time maybe, there is good retention on these!

[@paulsuurhoff4899]

I've lived on Vancouver Island all my life, never thought of doing this, looks like great fun!

[@RosinFlyFishing]

No way! Well there you go, glad my video opened up a new fishery!!

[@RoadandReel]

Had to come check you out. This is great stuff! Edit: gained a new sub! This is a really good video.

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Lol. One of the few times I caught fish lately.... I subbed back immediately and will check out your adventures soon!!

[@RoadandReel]

@@RosinFlyFishing I've fly fished the surf a few times and never been successful, so it's better than me! I did manage to hook the back of my hand on a back cast once, lol.

[@RosinFlyFishing]

@@RoadandReel lol

[@chrisburgess6964]

Good seeing you catch some

[@RosinFlyFishing]

I agree Chris lol thanks for watching 🙂

[@TroutFlies]

Looks like fun! Nice change of pace!

[@RosinFlyFishing]

It was and I totally agree, thanks TF!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Mot sure how I missed this one, but fantastic stuff. Looks like such a great place to cacth some fish in the surf

[@RosinFlyFishing]

It was super fun, make sure you guys try it some day! And no worries about missing videos, I know how tough it is to watch everyone you might want to and drop the ball on a bunch of others for weeks!! Haha

[@HuyFishin]

Aha well done! I’m definitely trying this once I get the chance.

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Do it!!! :)

[@Jadesfishing]

Surfs up! Looks like fun

[@RosinFlyFishing]

It was a great time :)

[@royalwolfflyfishing15]

Love a bit of surf fly. Pink thing are deadly here in Australia. Tight Lines

[@RosinFlyFishing]

I'm starting to like pink more and more. Cheers!

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

That looks so fun! I might have to go get a surf set up!

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Just use your 5 or 6 weight! Add a few feet of T8 sink tip for a dollar a foot at fly shop then you're ready! Those fish would be a better fight on a 5-6 :)

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

@@RosinFlyFishing I’m definitely gonna look into that

[@driftstone]

Low-key watching this again to learn how to do this.

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Message me if you have any questions :P

[@iancollings5047]

Completely new to me. Well Done. Do you think they were just in the surf line and it had something to do with the rocky outcrop.

[@RosinFlyFishing]

My understanding is they hang out all in the surf and move around so I got pretty lucky. They feed on stuff churned up in the surf so could be anywhere! But I do also like the surf near rocks theory that I developed based on a single anecdotal experience 😂. Thanks Ian!

[@HuyFishin]

@@RosinFlyFishing 😂😂

[@carlosandreblatt]

Noice!! 😁

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Right! It's a fun time :)

[@fatkidbaconswag]

is this any time of the year

[@RosinFlyFishing]

That was Spring, May I think? Bit sure of seasonality though! Best give it a fish anytime :)

[@Sturgeon85]

I've caught them in July in that area
