Northern California Guide Service – Colusa
Are you ready for an awesome fishing adventure? Then you need to book a trip with Northern California Guide Service. With decades of experience under his belt, Captain Robert Weese will make sure you have an excellent day out with him. He will do everything he can to put fish in the cooler year round. You are in safe and capable hands with him.
Step aboard the 2017 24’ Alumaweld Jet boat. You’ll get to the fishing grounds in no time, with the 400 HP Chevrolet engine. This sleek boat has room enough for 6 anglers to fish without crossing lines – even when fly fishing! If you wish to fly fish, just bring along your gear and let the captain know in advance.
There is full safety and navigational gear on board, so you can fish with peace of mind. The wireless trolling motor and fishfinder will help give you that extra edge when out on the river. There is also a live bait tank – fresh bait will help you get the best fish!
Depending on the time of year, you’ll be able to catch a variety of fish. Between March and April, you can target Striped Bass. Peak time is between April and May. For King Salmon, book a trip between July 16 through to mid-December. Sturgeon and Rainbow Trout can be caught year round.
On the trip, top quality rods and reels are provided. These are from G Loomis and Shimano. Also included is the live bait you’ll use, which the captain will prepare before the trip. This gives you your whole trip to go after your dream catch. You’ll need to buy a fishing license before the day.
Children are welcome on these trip, and if you know your little one (under 5) won’t be fishing, they can come along for free. Let the captain know in advance so he can prepare the correct sized life jackets.
A day out with Northern California Guide Service is a day well spent. You’ll love fishing along the Sacramento River, and have a blast reeling in the big fish!

Great time on the river
Had a great time fishing with this captain. Only caught on fish the whole day, but the captain worked hard all day to put us on fish and saw a lot of the river. Was a great time with a great human!

Bob was more than willing to work with my grandson & I to try an catch some fish. We totally enjoyed the time on the water and the experience. Bob's expertise is easy to see and we will try to use him as soon as we can.

We had a wonderful time fishing with Captain Robert. He was really informative and very helpful to my wife and granddaughter on this fishing trip. Was patient in teaching them the techniques for fishing for striped bass. Highly recommend his services.

Half day with Captain Robert
Captain Robert was very nice and very experienced. one thing I would have preferred to have was a brief description of what to expect. We were told to meet on site a 6:30am. We found the general area but could not see exactly where to go as it was pitch black out. Needless to say we ran a bit late, but Capt Robert was very patient. Captain Robert was able to take us right to where all the action was. There were many guided fishing boats and we did not expect the grouping atmosphere. We were not able to catch anything this trip. Now we know what to expect I'm sure next time will be even better. Overall a great experience, I do regret only booking a half day. It would be so much more worth it for the full day.
