i recently learned how to tie crease flies. they are quick and simple to tie! looking forward to giving them a shot at bass this summer!!!
Matt, here are a couple of Clousers tied on jig hooks that I have had luck with in Baja, both off the beaches and offshore.
White over Gray
and White over Olive
White over blue is another outstanding color. Good luck you are going to have fun.
Matt, thanks for the kind words on the flies. Those are Eagle Claw 413’s, you can find them all over the place I happened to get mine from saltwaterflies.com.
I find that I get a better than average strike to hookup ratio with them. I live in San Diego and fish Baja at least three or four times a year in a variety of areas from the beaches just south of the border to Cabo. I have flyfished for everything from Perch to Marlin south of the border and absolutely love it. When and where are you going and what are you going to fish for?
We will be fishing about 40 minutes north of Cabo (Buena Vista, La Ribera, Los Barriles).

Matt, pez gallo (the Roosterfish) still eludes me as well. Seen lots of them just haven’t got one to eat. In addition to the above flies I would pack some of Trey Comb’s Sea Habit Bucktails, Blanton’s Whistlers and you can never go wrong with Lefty’s Devievers. Some people also swear by Hightower’s Tres Generaciones fly. Check out the inshore and offshore flies on Jay Murakoshi’s Flies Unlimited website (http://www.fliesunlimited.com/) and the fly gallery section of Gary Bull’s website (http://www.garybulla.com) to get some additional ideas of colors and sizes. Both of these guys spend a lot of time in Baja each year and thier websites and fishing reports will provide lots of inspiration for your trip.
I agree with Carter on the loop knot. Good luck Matt I hope those fish that you have been dreaming about become a reality in Baja. Just beware, Baja will draw you in and require all of your spare money and time for years to come. It is a sickness, but welcome to it ;D
Scott, we have set up 2 days of guided beach fishing with a reputable outfitter, Gary Grahams Baja on the Fly.
