At NorCal Spey, we’re proud to announce we’ve expanded our guided trip offerings beyond traditional spey fishing to include indicator fly fishing and conventional tackle options for both steelhead and trout.

Whether you’re a fly angler looking to hone your nymphing game or a conventional angler eager to chase wild fish on Northern California’s iconic rivers, we now have guided experiences tailored to your style.

Indicator Fly Fishing Trips

• Instruction-focused trips available for anglers wanting to refine technique

Conventional Tackle Trips
