Jan, I want to know about your fishing style and rig. I want to fish halibut in SF bay but am not much of a bait fisherman. I try to adapt bait fishing techniques and tactics to fly fishing. Since most of the fishing for "butts" in the bay is in shallow water, 7-15 feet deep, the depth is not a problem. I can easily reach that depth with my LC 13 shooting head. I may have a problem drifting since the tide and wind may carry me across the bottom too quickly but I can always put out a mushroom anchor on a short leash as a drag anchor and slow myself down.

Do you bait the flies, how big are they, colors, do you jig with them, if vertical jigging, do you think horizontal jigging would work?
