Come and learn all about the Wild Trout, Largemouth Bass, and Stripers that call North California’s rich waterways home. Explore the rivers and creeks, along with the expansive delta with Home Waters Guide Service. Captain Mark Pinto has been fishing these waters since 1971, guiding anglers to the fishing hotspots since 1984. With a lifetime of experience fly fishing, he promises a productive and exciting trip.

Decide between exploring these rich waterways on foot or aboard a charter boat. If you choose an on-foot trip, make sure to bring some waders, as getting in the water will prove the most effective means of casting to attract the bite of your target fish. You can also cast from the 17’ Pro-Line center console. Up to 3 guests are always welcome to come along, and Capt. Mark will make sure you have everything you need for a productive day out.

If you have your own fly fishing gear, Capt. Mark suggests that you bring it along, but he can also provide plenty of equipment. Just let him know before your trip and away you go. He’ll even provide plenty of water and he can arrange for lunch on longer trips. Take advantage of this opportunity, as you’ll need all the energy you can get after battling it out with the prized fish on offer here.

Largemouth and Striped Bass are the kings of the Delta, while Rainbow Trout promise to keep you on your toes in the rivers and creeks. Wherever you head, rest assured that you’re in for a fun-filled day, as these creatures will stop at nothing to get off the end of your line.

With the prospect of a thrilling day of fishing in stunning surroundings, you’d be mad to turn down the chance to come fishing with Home Waters Guide Service. All you need to do is grab your CA freshwater fishing license, get in touch with your captain, and you’re good to go. Come and enjoy a thrilling fishing experience like never before!
