We did the 6 hour trip, and I learned how to fish/ caught fish on 3 different baits that I had never caught fish on before, and my father in law caught his first decent black (spotted) bass. Matt has been fishing Shasta for years and had no trouble putting us on fish even in less than ideal conditions. He was super patient with us, I left with a lot more confidence and know that I will be a better angler because of the time I spent fishing with him. Thank you Matt, we had a great time.

I was at @lostcoastoutfitters in SF and asked if he had any suggestions for a great guide out of Redding. He immediately hooked me up with Anthony and AC Flyfishing. That was a couple of years ago and I've run a dozen plus trips with AC. Everyone has been valuable as not only do they drop me into great water, but I learn a lot each time I fish with them. Bucko, Jay, Jason, Anthony etc... no weak link in the guide line up. They also coordinate everything for you for hotels and pass through the discounts. Last Saturday I drove up with my three sons for a quick afternoon/evening. #nailedit. Thanks Anthony and guys. Looking forward to the next visit.

Darrin has been our long time guide for many years. He has guided myself, and my family on over a…read moredozen Fly Fishing trips. What I believe is most important in a guide, over just catching fish, is Darrin is SAFE and responsible. I trust him to guide on trips across any body of water with the most valuable person in the world to me; my son. That cant be said for all guides. With all of that said...Darrin is suburb at fishing all types of fish species across all types of water. He is patient with new anglers as well as kids. Starting as a new fisherman myself Darrin taught me the skills of Fly Fishing that I have developed over the many years of fishing with him. On top of that Darrin taught my son when he began fly fishing at the age of 12. We have caught more Steelhead, native trout, strippers and bass than I can count. I would highly recommend Darrin for any California, Oregon, Idaho fishing trips. I would not hesitate to contact him for any other trips or states you plan to fish solo or with your family. Darrin I'm happy to be used as a reference for any of your clients. Feel free to have them call me direct.

All anglers aboard Jacob's boat had their 5 fish limit for the day and we were back to our vehicles by 1400 hours. I had so much fun. I danced on the boat to celebrate almost each fish we landed. It was the best fishing day for me in years. I'm going back soon to limit again. Contact Jacob if you have money to spend for a great day on WhiskeyTown Lake. His boat is all tricked out to catch the salmon. You just relax. Jacob is one of the best ever Northern California's fishing guide. https://fishing-norcal.com

So if you want to avoid slathering sunscreen on, the best bet is lightweight, light colored clothes that have some kind of built in SPF. Our fishing guide, who deserves his own non-5 star review (unless you count amount of marijuana smoked while supposedly working), recommended this place as I was suffering a bit from heat. From the outside, the shop doesn't look like much, but inside - wow. This small and neat shopped is like a fly fishing paradise. As I'm not a fly fisher and also not really knowledgeable about fishing, it was overwhelming. But cool to look around and see all the crazy things people use. Anyway, they had the sun shirt that I was looking for, and I found a nice hat. So overall, cool spot to visit, and great if you're into fly fishing. Parking is easy and they take credit cards too.
