A good fly shop can be key to getting started, and finding out the latest in tackle and techniques. Southern California does not have a lot of shops, given the size of our population, but the ones we do have are top notch.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive list. We left off fly shops that are in the inland areas, such as San Bernardino and Imperial counties, unless they specifically mention support for coastal and / or offshore fly fishing in SoCal.
