TOM,
You most certianly can catch Cabezon on the Fly.. but you had better be fishing at least a 9 wt. to do it off the Jetties... John Shewey & Ken Hanley both have written about fishing the Jetties for them at night(when it is the easiest to catch them)... I've caught afew in my day...but the Closures on Rockfish/Lingcod & Cabezon means I can't actually fisdh for them...so i sorta hope that while I'm casting for Calico Bass & dredge the bottom for Halibut a "CAB" will kindly eat my fly...I'll release him of course I'd just like to get another picture of one...
If your interested Tony, email me directly & off the list & I'll guide you to more Information about Flyfishing for Cabezon...
Cabezon (& Lingcod)...Mean looking Fish that can blow up your rod if you don't do everything just right.... a heck of alot of fun....
DEAN...

There is a west coast salt water fish ( don't know if you can catch it on flies?) called a cabezon that has GREEN!! flesh when raw , but cooked it turns white.The first few I caught I threw back because the thought that anything that ugly couldn't possibly be edible! Then a fellow jetty fisher told me that they were PRIMO for the pan, so I took one home and and cleaned it. I still wouldn't eat it because the flesh was greeeeen! EEEEWWWW!Well, I finally got up the gumption to try it , mainly because I kept hearing people rave about them.I must admit , they ARE pretty tasty!
