A guided day fly fishing one of our local lakes.

Guided trips to our local lakes typically begin by meeting the guide at The Fly Shop in the morning. Depending on the time of year, we vary the meet times to put you on the water during the most productive times of the day.

Over the years, our guides have worked out an effective system to get you on the water during the most productive times of the day based on the time of year and the different hatches. Our guides guarantee at least eight or nine hours on the water. During the winter and spring, the guides typically meet at The Fly Shop in the morning. Since there is no need to shuttle cars or boat trailers on stillwater trips, you’re on the water and fishing as soon as your guide can get the boat in the water.

Most of the best hatches on these lakes take place in the middle of the day (especially in the cold winter and spring months), so there’s not a huge rush to be on the water at first light.

If you are scheduled to meet your guide anywhere other than at The Fly Shop, please check our general on-line trip equipment and fly checklist or give us a call at 800-669-3474 to get the latest reports and fly suggestions.

It’s best to check in with The Fly Shop to make sure that you have the right flies prior to your trip. If you won’t be meeting your guide at The Fly Shop, we can put a care package of flies together for you and make sure that you get it for your trip, or we can sign you up for our “Guide Trip Package Deal”. Just give us a call, and we’ll do everything we can to guarantee your trip is a success.

All of the guided trips with The Fly Shop are fly fishing and catch-and-release only.

• Lunch is provided on all our full day trips. If you have any special dietary needs, you'll need to let us know in advance and, of course you are free to bring your own food, snacks, or beverages.
  
• Consider our "Package Deals" if you are just getting started in the sport, or won’t have time to swing by The Fly Shop on your way to the lake. We'll match you up with the correct rod, reel, line, and all the flies, tippet, leaders, and terminal tackle you'll need for an extra $50 a day. The only things not included in that package are licenses.
  
• Guided fly fishing trips on local lakes are designed for one or two anglers sharing the guide and boat for the day. Occasionally, we can accommodate a 3rd angler (additional $75 fee), but this is generally not recommended.
  
• Waders are not needed for guided trips on lakes. Fishing on the lakes is done entirely from boats.
  
• Car Shuttles are not necessary. You will begin and end each day at the lakeside launch site.
  
• Every angler needs to have a current California fishing license.
