Captain Robert Weese started fishing at the age of 5 and hasn't stopped since. He began his fishing charter company, Northern California Guide Service, in 1985 and has loved taking people out on trips with the highest commitment to safety, service, and success. He has lived in Northern California his whole life and knows these waters extremely well. He will do everything he can to put you on the fish and make sure you have the best day possible. Interesting side fact, Capt. Robert spends a lot of time with non-profit fisheries research as well.

    Great fishing experience

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    We had a great time! we caught 2 male king salmon and female king salmon. It was a fun experience. Captain was knowledgeable about the river and fishing in general. The boat was safe and clean. The fishing gear was also in great condition and I love that the captain always had our lure bait ready to go and switch out for us. The captain also filet our fish and bagged them for us after we were done with our trip. The only thing to note is the captain didn't tell us to use the bathroom before our 7-hour trip and there's no bathroom on the boat. so I held it for the 7 hours. Other than that it was an amazing trip

    Great Trip

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    Both the boat and Captian were top tier. His experience and patience was refreshing as we fished several different methods through the day. He put us on the fish and we didn’t leave empty handed. The bot was perfectly set up for our trip and it was easy to see the superiority of equipment as the other boats struggled to stay on the fish. I would definetly recommend Robert Dunn. We will be scheduling another trip with him in the coming months.

    Reported catch:
    Sturgeon
    Chinook Salmon

    Salmon fishing

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Early morning is the best time for salmon at this time of year. Robert did a great job picking a good location and setting up the equipment. We put three good sized salmon in the boat near sunrise.

    Awesome Guide

    Full Day Trip • 1 adult

    This trip was amazing. Robert is incredibly professional and knowledgeable and put us on to fish. I learned a lot from this trip and wouldn't hesitate to book with him again. If it's your first time fishing the Feather River (like me) or you are a veteran fisherman, you cannot go wrong with this guide service. Thank you so much for making my outing a memorable one.

    Captain Dunn was the greatest. He took time to explain the best way to hook up. Robert knew where the fish were and put us on them. We. had multiple hookups and got three big salmon in the boat. I highly recommend Captain Robert Dunn if you want to catch fish. We will definitely fish with Robert again. Thanks so much, Bob, and Kyle.

What's biting with Northern California Guide Service –Sacramento in Sacramento

This a good time to target Lake and Brown Trout on one of Sac-Town's surrounding lakes. King Salmon fishing is also still solid throughout November.
