Mission Bay Fly Fishing Company was started with the intention of educating and informing anglers about the fly fishing in San Diego. We specialize in walk and wade only fly fishing. Concentrating on Mission Bay and the surf along the coast. Mission Bay is the largest manmade aquatic park in the nation! Originally named False Bay by the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Mission Bay has 27 miles of shoreline, 19 that are sandy beaches. It can be fished year round with our not so bad San Diego climate! In the summer months the bay can be on FIRE!

Michael Peters has been fishing since he was just 3 years old! Mike fished with his grandfather on weekends as a kid, and at the age of 5 years old, he fished in his grandfather’s pond every single day during the summer.

Mike grew up in Lakewood, CA. He was a standout track star and football player and went on to play running back and kick returner for OLE MISS.
Mike used to primarily fish the ocean and spent many hours on trips for tuna, shallow water rockfish and many other species. He has fished off the coast of San Diego, and the Channel Islands near Ventura and Santa Barbara. Mike has fished all over the country for trout, in areas like Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and in Oregon for Steelhead. He has also been fishing for salmon in Alaska for over a decade and currently holds a guide’s license there. Mike also has experience fishing the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. In addition to all his fishing experience, he also attended South Lake Tahoe Guide School and received professional training in the sport of fishing, which he loves so much.

Mike is currently a financial advisor at a major Wall Street Firm. Mike resides in Long Beach with his family and guides inshore off of the local coast for ocean fishing, in local bodies of freshwater, as well as in the Sierra Nevada and in Alaska. As a dedicated father, he spends many hours developing his two sons into star baseball, soccer, basketball players, and of course fly fisherman.
