San Diego Fly Fishers



The San Diego Fly Fishers club hold a FREE fly fishing clinic every Sunday from 9:00 am until noon at Lake Murray. These experienced fly fishermen will teach you everything that you need to know to start fly fishing. They hold a class explaining the equipment, knots and terms used in fly fishing at 9:00 sharp. After this informative class you will have the opportunity to practice casting with a fly rod. They provide all of the equipment and have plenty of expert instructors on hand to help you learn enough to go it on your own. If you have never used a fly rod or if you would like to improve your skills this is the place for you. These guys really know their stuff and want to share their vast knowledge with anyone interested in fly fishing. This is a true gem for all of us in San Diego. Enjoy!

San Diego Polo



Sunday October 2, 2011 was the Spreckels Cup Finals. It was also the last polo match of the season in San Diego. The San Diego Polo Field is just east of the Del Mar Fairgrounds along Via de la Valle. This is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Admission is inexpensive and there is a nice shaded viewing area with good food and drink. You may want to tailgate on the other side of the field and bring your own food and drink including alcohol. Polo is not just for the rich anymore. The dress is casual and there is a low key fun feel to the event. You are sure to enjoy the match and the divot stomp at half time. Enjoy!

Pacific Beach Fest



There are always more events in San Diego than any one person could attend. The Pacific Beach Fest was going on the same day as the Miramar Air Show, several Octoberfests, Julian Apple Days and who knows how many others. We decided on Pacific Beach because we wanted to see if the red tide was still going and normally anything at the beach gets our vote. The Pacific Beach Fest was along the boardwalk with the center point near Crystal Pier. Crystal Pier is the only place in San Diego that you can rent a cottage on a pier and sleep over the ocean. When we have high surf in the winter, you can feel the pier moving with the wave action.
The `PB Fest` had two stages for music and plenty of food and merchandise booths. They had a surf competition, a volleyball tournament and of course great food and music. This is a fun `street fair` on another super weather day in San Diego. Enjoy!
