More Tools. More Techniques. Same Wild Fish.
We’re excited to introduce expanded trip options that go beyond the swing—perfect for anglers of all backgrounds, skill levels, and preferences.
Indicator Fly Fishing Trips
Want to cover more water and put more fish in the net? Our indicator trips are perfect for anglers looking to dial in drifts and detect even the most subtle takes. It’s a deadly effective method for both steelhead and trout, especially when water temps drop or clarity tightens up.
Light Conventional Tackle Trips
For those who prefer gear in hand and the excitement of a plug take or a bobber drop, we now offer float fishing and plug pulling trips using light conventional tackle. These are incredibly fun and highly effective ways to chase steelhead, particularly for beginners or kids who might not be ready for the fly rod just yet.
Whether you want to try a new method or just increase your odds, these trips deliver.
Why the Expansion?
This shift isn’t about changing who we are—it’s about offering more ways to experience the magic of Northern California’s rivers. Some days call for Spey rods and classic flies. Others demand bobbers and baits. No matter how you choose to fish, our mission stays the same: connect people with wild places, wild fish, and unforgettable memories.
The Benefits of Diverse Fishing Techniques
Fishing is not just about catching fish; it’s about the experience. By expanding our offerings, we provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy the thrill of fishing. Different techniques can cater to various preferences and skill levels.
Engaging Families in Fishing
One of our goals is to engage families in the joy of fishing. Our light conventional tackle trips are designed with beginners in mind. Kids can learn the basics while having fun. This approach fosters a love for the outdoors and creates lasting memories.
Perfecting Your Skills
For seasoned anglers, our indicator fly fishing trips offer a chance to refine your skills. Mastering the art of detecting subtle takes can elevate your fishing game. It’s a rewarding challenge that can lead to more successful outings.
Book Your Trip Today
The fish are showing. The rivers are calling. And now, there’s more than one way to answer.
If you’ve been curious about indicator setups or want to get your kids hooked on steelhead fishing, now’s the perfect time. And if you’re still loyal to the swing, don’t worry—we’re not going anywhere.
How to Prepare for Your Trip
Preparation is key to a successful fishing trip. Here are some tips to ensure you’re ready:
Gear Up: Make sure you have the right equipment for the type of fishing you’ll be doing. Whether it’s fly rods or conventional tackle, having the right gear is essential.
Check the Weather: Weather conditions can impact fishing. Dress appropriately and be prepared for changes.
Stay Hydrated and Energized: Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep your energy up throughout the day.
