Northern California’s Best Fly Fishing Adventures

I’ve got good news and better news: the Feather’s settling into shape, and the Lower Sac is already fishing lights out. Flows are dropping, bugs are popping, and fish are feeding like they just woke up from a long nap—which, to be fair, they kinda did. Spring is here, and the bite is turning on fast.

Whether you’re chasing steelhead grabs in Oroville or picking apart riffles in Redding, now’s the window. The next few weeks offer prime-time fishing before the summer heat kicks in. If you’ve been thinking about booking a trip, this is your sign. Let’s get you out there before someone else grabs your date—and your fish.

Every Cast is an Adventure!
