About Your Trip

My guide philosophy is to teach the techniques that will allow the client to catch fish for a life time. While on a guide trip with me, you will improve your casting, insect identification, proper fly presentation, fly pattern selection, reading the water, fish identification and anything else that will increase the number of fish you catch. I take pride in knowing my clients will be able to fish Eastern Sierra waters confidently with the techniques I teach them.

I offer full- and half-day trips to accommodate your skill level, interest or fly fishing needs. I can teach specific skills on these trips like a drag-free drift while fishing a dry fly, nymph fishing, European nymphing techniques, specific waters i.e the lower Owens River, and proven techniques that catch trout. I will match your fly-fishing skills and needs with the conditions available at the time of your trip.

Includes: Rod and reel, terminal tackle, all flies on trip, lunch on full day trips and water

Not included: Valid California fishing license which can be purchased at www.wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Online-Sales, transportation, waders, rain gear and access fees Gratuities not included, but always appreciated!
