Lower Sac Trout 

THE LOWER SACRAMENTO RIVER-

Northern California's top fly-fishing destination For Big wild rainbow trout.

It just happens to run right through my hometown of 30+ years, REDDING.  A short three hour drive from the Bay Area and an even shorter two hour drive from Sacramento puts Redding within easy striking distance for a one day or multi-day trip for anyone.

Redding is lucky enough to have arguably the best wild trout river in California - running right through our backyard. Our healthy trout are all rainbows, and they average an honest 17 inches.  Trophies over 20" are not uncommon, especially during winter months.  
When the fish are in an eating mood, dozens and dozens of opportunities come to those who get good natural presentations with the right flies in the right spots. I've been studying just that for well over a decade. 

Feel free to email me for current river conditions, fishing reports or to ask any questions you might have about booking a trip.
