River Float Trips
Float trips are available in state-of-the-art McKenzie River Drift boats on the Feather River, Yuba River, Truckee River, American River, and the Lower Sacramento River. River trips are personally and professionally guided by California licensed and bonded guides. Courtesy and teaching of techniques are paramount in importance to these hand selected guides. And as a bonus, they know their waters like the backs of their hands. Lunch and drinks provided on full day trips. Personal preferences for diet and drinks (non-alcoholic), are accommodated.
Lake Float Trips
Fish out of a state-of-the-art fly fishing platform on Martis Creek Reservoir, Davis Lake, Eagle Lake or other high quality waters in the Sierra for trophies, or just for the joy of catching a lot of fish! By prior arrangement, we will even assist you in learning to fish out of a float tube or pontoon boat if you’d like (subject to availability). Trips are booked with local guides who know the waters, certified by Sierra Fly Fishers and backed by our no nonsense guarantee.
Lake trips are personal and professionally guided by California licensed and bonded guides. Courtesy and teaching of techniques are paramount in importance to these hand selected guides.

Walk-In Trips
Walk-in and hike-in trips are available to High Sierra Lakes, Yuba, Truckee, American, and Feather Rivers, to name a few.
