Permit Fishing in California
California is one of the top destinations for Permit fishing on the Pacific coast. Wary, powerful flats fish considered one of the ultimate fly rod prizes, making California's waters an ideal habitat during peak season.
Best Time to Go: Across the U.S., Permit fishing typically peaks April to September. Timing in California can differ, so ask your captain. See the California fishing calendar.
What to Expect: Most California charter trips targeting Permit run 4 to 8 hours and include all tackle, bait, and fishing licenses. Bring sunscreen, snacks, and a cooler for your catch. Captains on Unreel are not charged commissions, so 100% of your payment goes to the captain.
