Flyfishing is a top activity for me. My work week is intense - 60 hour + weeks - and when I go fishing I attack with the same vigor, usually getting my line wet 40-50 days a year. About half to 3/4 of my fishing days I use a guide. Engaging with a good guide not only gives me access to great water but it also increases my fish count and - with the right guide - helps me improve as a fisherman. California, Oregon, Nevada, Montana. I'm licensed and four states every year and hit these State's waters top waters regularly. The guide community in each state is pretty small community. I have spent time with many guides over the years narrowing down to the top view in each state. In California I fish many different water types. From my place on the Fall River, to the wild Trinity, to the mighty Lower Sac and quite a few in between. Over my 30 years of fishing I've created great friendships with guides along the way. And Arian Aaron and Wild Harvest is among the best in the state! The first time I fished with Aaron was well over a decade ago. We floated the lower Sac. I was quite familiar with the river, so to me going with a guide was more about having someone row a boat while I fished then necessarily teaching me about the river. We'll was I surprised. Aaron far exceeded my expectations. Showed me more about the River than I could possibly have learned in a lifetime of fishing with others. From stealthy holes to underwater obstructions to back channel Eddie's, Aaron was on his game and I knew I had found an expert. I have since fished with Aaron on many northern California rivers since with the same experience. Nothing but best of class knowledge and best of class fishing experience. He's super personable and fun to hang with. And believe me, these tend to be long days fishing and with the wrong Guide they can be painful. Aaron makes these days fly by with success on the water and great conversation and camaraderie in the boat. Whether you are an expert or a beginner, I highly recommend Aaron and Harvest Wild for a guide service. But, book early since he has many "regulars" who pre-book him every year. read more

Aaron was a terrific guide. Low key, low pressure, great teacher. My son and his friend greatly enjoyed their first exposure to fly fishing (mine as well). read more

Aaron is an absolute pro at helping people catch fish. He knows everything about the region, the biology, the fish psychology, the equipment, and all other factors, as well as lots of other stuff that you may want to talk to him about. A great pleasure to have him as our guide. We caught lots of big trout! read more

Harvest Wild is a first class operation.. I called Aaron & explained to him that Iwas experienced fly fisherman but wanted this trip to be all about my son as he has never been fly fishing. Aaron wasn't available to guide me but told me he would get back to me shortly & let me now if one of his other guides were available. I heard back from Aarons wife Michelle shortly after & she had me booked for the two days I wanted with one of their guids Brian Kyncy. Brian was a class act, knowledge able, patient, & just loves what he does. He my son up & catching fish in short order. During our two days on the river we caught a lot of beautiful wild rainbow trout & even landed 9 doubles while losing several others. I would've given them a 10 star review if it went that high. we will be booking many trips in the future with them. read more

My son and I went fly fishing with HarvestWild last May on the Sacramento River. Even though we had never gone fly fishing before, our guide was able to each us the basics and get us casting reasonably well. The gear he provided us was top-notch, his boat was clean and new, and he did a very thorough job rigging everything up. He was super knowledgeable about the river and which sections likely had fish. We ended up catching several fish, and had a memorable time on the river. read more

Aaron was a fantastic and professional guide for my trip. Even though I ran into issues with my equipment, Aaron did everything in his power to make sure that I was able to have a successful trip and a great and memorable experience. He was very organized and explained things and tailored the trip to my experience level. I would highly recommend HarvestWild. read more

I've floated the Lower Sac with Aaron 3 times and can confidently say that he is one of the better guides working that river. Aaron is a true professional and takes his craft seriously. He brings a wealth of knowledge, an infectious enthusiasm, and an earnest desire for his clients to have a great day. On the most productive drifts, Aaron will put in the work to run laps on it, ensuring you get plenty of chances when the bite is on. Aaron also loves to put his clients in situations that (appropriately) challenge their skills. He is equally adept at introducing first-timers to fly fishing and to maximizing the opportunity to catch a Lower Sac Legend when fishing with experienced fly fishers. You can't do much better (although you can do much worse) if you choose to fish with Aaron. read more
