Tight Line Therapy – Yosemite | Mariposa
Get on the water with 'Tight Line Lyle' to experience the majesty of Yosemite National Park and Sierra Nevada rivers like never before by starting your fly fishing journey, or taking your game to the next level. Your adventure awaits, book now!
Our watershed is loaded with wild Trout and provide opportunities a short walk from the car, or all the way to backcountry waters at high elevation where you rarely see another person much less another angler, not to mention the productive honey holes only a local expert can show you.
The fly fishing kool-aid will be pouring out of the firehose of fishy knowledge, it will be up to you to decide how deeply to drink. The number 1 goal of every trip is safety, followed by having fun and catching fish; the 3rd goal, as important as the 2nd is YOU WILL LEARN TO FLY FISH! Experienced fly anglers should expect to add new dimensions to their game and tools to their box.
Rainbows, Browns, & Brook Trout and more, and more can be found, depending on conditions and location. Any fish you catch will be released; many areas restrict harvesting fish. We hope you will come to love/appreciate our wild and native Trout & keep'em alive and wet!
We welcome large groups as large as 12-24+ (advanced notice preferred). You'll be fishing without a boat, so expect to make your way on foot at least part of the time and come dressed for current weather conditions.
In most cases transportation is not provided, expect to meet at the fishing grounds and drive between fishing locations as needed. We offer walk/wade fly fishing. Float/drift trips are not permitted by park regulations or offered.
I will reach out prior to our trip to confirm details, yet am always available for questions.
-Fishing License Required for ages 16 and older
-Wear quick-dry clothing in neutral/earth tones (no bright colors)
-Recommended to bring water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, etc.
Get in touch today and start planning your unforgettable day on the water!

Captain Lyle was very knowledgeable & patient! We took our 4 boys fly fishing on the Merced River & he did a very thorough job explaining how to fly fish & teaching us some “tricks of the trade.” The boys caught some beautiful fish…our favorite was the “rainbow.” And the scenery was incredible! Thank you Mr. Lyle!
