Northern California Rainbow Trout (Steelhead) Fishing Charters

The extra time on the water lets you go further along the river and spend longer going after your trophy catch. Year round you can catch Sturgeon and Rainbow Trout. March to August you'll target Striped Bass, and from mid-July to December King Salmon. You must buy a fishing license before the day, and bring your own fly fishing equipment if you wish to fly fish. Conventional rods and reels are provided. Please bring your own food and drink for the day.

The boat easily accommodates up to 6 anglers in your group. The crew will go after the fish that's most active in that period and make sure you have the highest chances for a successful day on the water. Your equipment, snacks, and drinks are included in the price.

Make the most of the numerous productive waterways that make up Stockton and California's freshwater fishing grounds. You're in for a treat as you spend 8 hours exploring the Delta, the Mokelumne, Calaveras, American, and Stanislaus Rivers, testing your fly fishing skills from the boat to land a prized Bass or Trout. On this trip, you'll even have the benefit of stopping for lunch in the delta to recharge your batteries, on a true Californian freshwater adventure.
