Get on the water with "Tight Line Lyle" to experience the majesty of the Sierra Nevada like never before by starting your fly fishing journey, or taking your game to the next level!
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 guide can show you.
The fly fishing kool-aid will be pouring out of the firehose of fishy knowledge, it will be up to you 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. I will reach out a few days 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!

Half Day: 4 Hours of Fly Fishing
Run, don't walk toward a flyfishing adventure with Lyle, a standout guide who knows and loves his stuff. He got my group -- mixed ages and abilities -- into gorgeous water and, as importantly, foregrounded our time together in teaching technique and skills to both newbies and the advanced fisherman among us. In this way Lyle is a genuine pro: he is an excellent teacher AND guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm are infectious. Highly recommend. I learned a ton and caught fish and can't wait to get back out there with a rod!
