Capt. Mark and I had an awesome time exploring one of his favorite trout streams. In addition to introducing me to beautiful trout water I didnโt even know existed, he had me roll casting and nailing flawless drifts within a couple hours and I hooked approx 15 fish over the course of the day. I really enjoyed his approach and technique for trout fishing as well as his passion for his local waters. Capt. Mark Pinto is an excellent teacher and a great hang, highly recommend letting him take you out and show you and thing or two

It was my pleasure Eric, you were such a great student and your attitude made it as pleasant a day as could be. The stream was so inviting and sharing such beautiful places that are so close and yet unknown to most, is something I never tire of. Iโm so happy to have met you and look forward to our next adventure at another one of our, โHome Watersโ. Capt. Mark
We had a great trip with Captain Mark. We had no idea that fly fishing was possible on the Delta river!! Mark did a great job explaining what to do and making expert fly fishermen out of us :) We ended up catching so many striped bass we stopped taking pictures!!ย Weโll definitely go again. Thanks Mark!!
Thank you so much Shelby, it was a pleasure showing you just what fantastic Fly Fishing lies right in our own backyards, you donโt have to travel far to enjoy great action! You both did a great job and I hope to see you soon, October and November are my favorites months , imagine fishing like you experienced only with fish quite a bit biggerโฆย You have a solid foundation now of what to do and it will only get easier our next time out . I look forward to it. Capt. Mark
Captain Mark has a wealth of knowledge fishing the delta. He provided great fly fishing instruction with endless patience and tips. Best of all we got on the fish! If you are serious about learning good technique, Mark is your guide.
Thank you so much Karen, it was my pleasure!ย Iโm glad you got to experience the beautiful Delta and seeing Stripers crashing baitfish and Largemouth smashing your flies doesnโt hurt a bit. Your casting is right there and I hope will add to your enjoyment and success chasing trout and Bass back home in Iowa. I look forward to your next visit here in Ca. and our next adventure!
Dad and I are not fly fishermen, but with a few corrections and some patience we caught fish. So, when telling the story about catching strippers on a fly rod, People gige you respect.
It was my pleasure Monte, I really enjoyed having you you and your dad out for our 1/2 day trip! I am always more than happy to help beginners and first timers enjoy this wonderful way of fishing, many who experience it become hooked for life and now do the majority of their fishing with flies. I think itโs the active nature of the sport, not just sitting in a boat and waiting for something to happen, but actually making it happen! Thanks again Monte and I hope to fish with you again sometime, Capt. Mark Pinto
