Guided Steelhead fly fishing in Northern California!

March 28, 2017 at 3:59 pm

As March winds down and the steelhead return to the Pacific Ocean to replenish thier strength for thier next battle, I am going to post some pics from this month. We recieved a little over 140 inches of rain this season from October through March. This made it extremeley hard to put up a good fish score to my standards. All the high water conditions this season let the fish come and go as they pleased, bringing a few fish into the rivers on each tide. We never had a large push of fish that had been held back by low water. After the last four years of the seals and fisherman having thier way with the steelhead, the fish finnally got rewarded with a record breaking amount of water this season. It was the year for the fish! I am looking forward to catching all of thier offspring in the years to come. With Alaska on my mind the steelhead gear is getting packed up for the South East Alaskan Steelhead Season. Looking forward to returning next fall to a brand new batch of fresh fish!

Northern California Steelhead Fly Fishing Report

January 19, 2017 at 4:56 pm

The first two days of January were the only two days fishable in Southern Humboldt County this month. When we were down there the fish scores were high during some of the coldest winter steelheading conditions I have seen on the California Coast. This fishery will be a good this season, I can't wait to get back down there when the water conditions shape up. The rain has been steady on the coast keeping us confined to fishing the Smith River for the month of Janurary. With very little rain in the extended forecast after Janurary 24th, Northern California will be the place to be fly fishing for winter steelhead during the month of February. There are still a few dates open for the month of February, these dates won't last much longer. Contact Mark at 530-321-7452 to book a trip.
