The Feather River in California is known for two things: the excellent wild rainbow trout fishing it provides and its natural, scenic beauty. The section of the Feather River that we fish is from Clio/Graeagle, CA area, through "the canyon", to just below Cresta Dam. It all depends on the time of the year. Yes, that's a lot of water but that's what is so great about the Feather River! You will have plenty of areas to explore to find solitude, see amazing canyon views, and hook into awesome wild rainbow trout. We consider this river to be in the Lost Sierras of Plumas County and it's a awesome fishery. Historically, the Feather River basin was initially inhabited by the Maidu tribe, although there is evidence to suggest that the Paiute and Washoe tribes had settlements in the area before being driven out by white settlers. This is a freestone river so there is no dam to control the amount of water above Quincy. Some years, the water can maintain proper height and temperatures to fish into July. This is all dependent on the snowpack. We stop fishing this water shed when the water temps get to be around 65-67 degrees in the day(usually mid June) to leave the trout alone until the temps start to cool back down in mid September. Walk and wade trips consist of hiking on the river banks to find runs that hold fish. Waders and wading boots are suggested for most of the year but once the water gets warm enough, wet wading can be had.

The Trinity River (originally called the Hoopa or Hupa by the Yurok, and hun' by the Natinixwe/Hupa people) is a major river in northwestern California in the United States, and is the principal tributary of the Klamath River. The Trinity flows for 165 miles (266 km) through the Klamath Mountains and Coast Ranges, with a watershed area of nearly 3,000 square miles (7,800 km2) in Trinity and Humboldt Counties. Designated a National Wild and Scenic River, along most of its course the Trinity flows swiftly through tight canyons and mountain meadows. The river is known for its once prolific runs of anadromous fish, notably Chinook salmon and steelhead, which sustained Native American tribes for thousands of years. It's a wonderful place to get a chance of hooking into a steelhead on the fly. Taco Fly Co. originated here and is one of the other places we like to call home. Most of the fishing will be had from Lewiston, CA down to Del Loma, CA depending on the time of the year. We use indicator and swing techniques on the fly to chase these amazing fish. This is an ALL YEAR ROUND fishery with Fall and Winter being the most popular times of the year to chase the steel.

The Lower Sacramento river is FUN! It comes out of Shasta Lake, into Keswick Lake, out of Keswick Dam and then travels down the state of California into the Sacramento Area. We fish the "top section" which is usually from Anderson, CA up to Redding, CA. It all depends on the time of year but you can expect to have an amazing float with plenty of fish to be had. One of the best rivers to catch football sized wild rainbow trout in the lower 48! This place is a trout factory. These fish pull hard. There are many who say that these trout pull as hard, if not harder, than Alaskan rainbows. It is not uncommon to catch plenty of 18"+ fish in a day. There is also times of the year where we can chase steelhead on the fly on this river! Usually around the September time frame. This is an ALL YEAR ROUND fishery with some months performing better than other months. As long as you are on the Lower Sacramento River, you have a chance to battle a radical bow that will be as wild as the scenery.
