Big shout out to NRS and Pro-Loks LLC Using the NRS Freestone Drifter and Proloks rowing system I can float and row into tight shallow places which allows me to swing up some big fat chrome bright faces. Also can't forget Rick Anderson at Fly Fishing Specialties. One of his signature flies called Anderson's Euphoria kicked but today. The color of choice was Euphoria Green. He has several colors in this pattern and use them all. I never leave home to swing without them. All in all it was a great day to be swinging, great number of tugs, and some sweet fish to hand. Don't wait till steelhead season to get your fill. I was the only one on the water. Time to get bent.

Hey folks Due to a last minute cancellation during Labor Day weekend I am continuing my Labor Day special on a full day guided trip that is booked during Labor Day weekend. Any day booked will be $400 for a full day guided trip normally $450. These trips will take place on either the Trinity or Lower Sac. The Trinity is fishing good and we are seeing good numbers of steelhead and jack salmon taking swung flies. Decent hatches in the evening are a blast on your favorite 5/6wt dry fly rod. Plenty of activity to go around for all ages. Come on up and have a blast. The Lower Sac continues to fish well as the Sac is known for. Fishing from Posse to Anderson is the norm and if you want to be bent all day this river is for you. Dates available are Sept 1st 2nd 3rd If you are interested please give me a ring, email or Facebook me. Thank you Tight Lines Brian 530 354 3740 [email protected]
From striking Yuba Gold to hitting the Feather Jackpot, the fishing couldnt be better. Flows are still high, but with a good amount on water flowing down our rivers it's keeping the water temps down and the fish are actively eating. We are starting to see good numbers of early fall steelhead and the summer run is still in so you will stay busy throughout the day. A few salmon are starting to show their faces which means in a few months it will be egg bite time. With few ppl on the water you would think the fishing is slow, but its the complete opposite, don't wait to enjoy some great fishing. Nymphing, swinging and even dries, it's happening right now. Be the report don't believe the report. Time to get you some and get bent.

Nothing like striking gold, Yuba Gold. Fishing has been pretty good with plenty of fish under an indicator, but if you like throwing dries that's working good as well. Hopper/dropper, caddis, dry/dropper and fish are looking up. We are even getting a few swinging.

Been having some great days on local water these past few weeks chasing striper and steelhead with no slowdown in site. Between good to great numbers of steelhead and to many stripers to count, with a few bigger fish of both in the mix, you just can't ask for anything more. Time to get out and get bent. Fishing is great so don't wait. Book now for prime dates.

Been a while since I've posted, trips are coming in daily and I havent had anytime to post. So busy that I did a half and full day yesterday, sun up to sun down and about 14hrs on the water. But what a day it was. All in all a great day on the water, it's been nice not having to travel for work. Yesterday was a bit more special, got a beginner out on the water for chrome, as well as some seasoned vets hooking their first shad and striper on the fly. Steelhead striper and shad, what more could you ask for.

Hey folks Just had a last minute cancellation on the Lower Sac for this Friday and Saturday May 26th and 27th. The Lower Sac has been on firing on all cylinders lately with to many bent rods to count. If you are looking to wet a line for a few days as well as get away from the hussle and bussle, here is a great opportunity. Right now flows are at a steady 13k and the water clarity is pretty good. Don't know how long the flows will stay at 13k with snow melt fast approaching, so now's the time. If you are interested please contact me. Thanks again Tight Lines Brian 530 354 3740 [email protected]
The Lower Sac doesn't disappoint again and keeps pumpin um out. Lots of good times and tight lines with a group of 8 from Truckee Fly Fishers and a few Fly Shop guides. Enjoying that neck of the woods more and more every time I'm up there. Looking forward to the future......

Lots of bent rods to be had on the Lower Sac right now. Lots of smiles, lots of good times and tight lines with to many fish to count. It's gonna be 13k by Sunday, but that won't bother the fishing. I still have a few days remaining in the next 2 weeks if your looking to get bent. Time to get out and get you some.

With all of the unfishable water around us, all I can do is reminisce about the 2016/2017 steelhead season. Fall will be here sooner than you think, and if you are like me you are already thinking about sticking some chrome this 2017/2018 season. I'm already booking fall/winter trips on the Trinity, Feather, Yuba and Lower Sac. So if you are looking to book a trip, give me a call and we will get you on the calender. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Hope to see you on the water Tight Lines Brian Clemens 530 354 3740 [email protected] #norcalflyguides #northerncaliforniaflyfishingguides #northerncaliforniaflyfishingguide #trinityriver #featherriver #yubariver #lowersac #tugisthedrug #flyfishing #steelhead #norcalflyfishing #tightlines #repyourwater #findyourwater #seewhatsoutthere #keepumwet #catchandrelease #clackacraft #nrs Fly Fishing Specialties Off the Hook Fly Fishing Trinity Fly Shop Custom Drift Marine Hardy Fly Fishing Temple Fork Outfitters Sage Fly Fishing Redington Simms Fishing Products RIO PRODUCTS Fenwick Fishing Hodgman

Great day today on the Lower Sac. The river did jump up to 25k today, but the fish didn't care. The fishing doesn't get any better than this, plenty of fish to go around. Dates still available April and May if you are looking to get out.

Some fun fishing to be had right now on the Trinity River.

Hey folks Well as most of you know, almost every river in Nor Cal has been blown out, and with more rain in the future, it will be a while till our rivers become fishable again. However, there has been a glimmer of hope 45mins west of Redding and it's been a godsend for Nor Cal Fly Guides clients as well as anyone that's been looking to get out and hook some fish. This is where all my 2017 trips have gone down and it won't stop till the fish are gone. We have seen some epic days as well as big fish and if you haven't been able to get up there nows the time. There's a bit of rain coming in which will blow it out for about a week or so, but come mid next week she will be prime. So if you are looking to get out in the near future, we have the place as well as a few dates so book now while the fishing is good.

What a glorious time these last 2 weeks up on the Trinity River. We saw a bit of rain, a bit of snow, a bit of cold and warm temps, some boat hatches as was as bankies, but the best part was the awesome fishing Nor Cal Fly Guides clients had while we were up there. They were all troopers sticking it out with me no matter what the reports said or what they had been told by other guides and anglers. After all was said and done it was one of the best December's I've had in a while. "Be the report, don't believe the report" Tight Lines And Merry Fishmas everyone Brian Just a heads up, I still have several dates available in Jan, Feb and March on the Trinity if you are interested. #norcalflyguides #northerncaliforniaflyfishingguide #northerncaliforniaflyfishingguides #flyfishing #trinityriver #tugisthedrug #steelheadfishing #seewhatsoutthere #tightlines
Another epic day on the Trinity River with Bryan Sopha and Derek Drost. This was Derek's first time on the Trinity and within 4 casts hooks his first steelhead. Throughout the day we found many eager fish to take a nymph under an indicator, however, it was all about the swing. Eventually, we found a few sweet swing runs to give us some love, and pop Derek's cherry on his first swung steelhead. Nice work Derek, there is no better feeling than getting your first steelhead on the swing. Im glad both Bryan and myself were there to experience with you such a special and exciting moment. Oh ya and Bryan was able to find a few more willing fish to hit a swung fly. We even busted out a skater and said "why not" Great day, great clients, great fishing. Nows the time, get out there and hook some chrome. "Dont believe all the reports you hear, get out there and make one of your own!!!"
