Rescue Fishing Charters

American River winter steelhead run. We can float down the river and target steelhead from the boat using fly rods, mostly nymphing. We can get out of the drift boat in certain areas and swing for steelhead with spey rods.

Running angling trips out of Penn Valley, J & A Guide Service invites you to check out the local fishery in style. Capt. Joshua will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing.

"We had an extremely good Kokanee fishing trip, the captain is very knowledgeable of the fishery and the reservoir, knows his target species, we bagged out our limit relatively early while other boats seem to be having to work hard for their catch, afterwards had the opportunity to appreciate local wildlife and boat around and see the reservoir, overall an excellent choice to go fishing Kokanee salmon!" —⁠ Joshua, CA

When you go fishing, it’s not just about filling up the cooler. You want to have a great time, be safe, maybe meet some fellow anglers, and create fishing memories that will last a lifetime.

"I would highly recommend Captain Robert for a guide!  He’s a complete professional, a good instructor, patient , and wants your fishing trip to be a success and memorable!" —⁠ Mary, CA
