Spend the day with Trophy Catcher Guide Service and get hooked on fishing in Granite Bay! Your guide for the day is Captain Rudy, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience.
 
Expect to target Rainbow Trout and King Salmon. For these species, you’re likely to use light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

You’ll be dropping lines from an 18’ Walkaround that can carry up to 3 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Rudy will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles. Lunch is provided. Reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Trophy Catcher Guide Service!
