Atlas FlaggLand of the Giants Jet Boat Fly Fishing
The name of this fishing section, “Land of the Giants,” is named after the mere size of the trout that exists in this portion of the river and Upper Holter Reservoir. An expected and typical guided day of Fly-Fishing the Gates of the Mountains area in either the reservoir or river both start off first by meeting your guide in the early morning at the Gates of the Mountains Marina. Many guides will split up the day by fishing in the reservoir in addition to the notorious, “Land of the Giants,” river section, either at the beginning or end of the day. The river section is phenomenal but don’t miss out on the fun that the reservoir has installed as well. Fishing techniques for the river and reservoir consist of either nymphing or streamer fishing because the watershed is so big and deep. Although, occasional dry fly opportunities do present themselves on both. Upper Holter Reservoir has a tremendous amount of weed beds and structural shelves that create a lot of different prolific aquatic fly hatches. As a result, these eagle lake species trout have a variety of food sources, and it makes for good fly-fishing fishing. These trout in both the river and reservoir are on average 20” with an insane amount of mass and it is not uncommon to find rainbows or browns in the 24-30” range as well. The trout that are found in the “Land of the Giants,” river section is great in size because they come from the reservoir. They primarily reside in Upper Holter Reservoir where their food source is more sustainable in the weed beds, and the water temperature is most consistent. The trout then also become more catchable and concentrated in the shallows when they head upriver for spawn or are looking for colder water. Over the last few years, the river section in the “Land of the Giants,” has provided enough of a stable environment for the trout because of the substantial food source and water flows, that many trout are simply living in the river section full time and keeping their size, instead of the reservoir. As a result, there are more opportunities to catch trout in that section of river and their season to find them is longer, pushing well into late fall.

Brian FlintSacramento River (half day/fly fishing)
Join me for a half day morning or evening float on the Sacramento River for trophy Native Rainbow Trout! With beautiful views of both Mt. Lassen & Mt. Shasta, combined with one of the best tailwaters in the west, you get a full day of action & adventure. If you are not familiar with this river it’s known as the “Trout Factory” where the average fish can be in the 16-18” range with the possibility of landing a hatchery steelhead or wild steelhead. We get salmon in the fall and the trout get massive from devouring salmon eggs and many insects from the diverse menu of bugs! Double ups are a very common thing around here! This can be quite productive, & I will get you dialed in with my professional knowledge on this piece of water. -The trip covers 2 anglers, rods, flies, & tackle are included +cold drinks. -Typically fish for around 4-6 hours -meetup location Redding, Ca -Boat type, Clackacraft -Fly Fishing -Must bring fishing license/steelhead card 530-690-6636 for meetup address and time!

Gulf Coast WatermanLow Tide We Ride
Nothing like smashing Redfish and Snook in ultra shallow water. I will get you to them hard to reach spots that others won’t even bother. Expect to see a variety of species from snook, redfish, tarpon, triple tail and even cobia. A typical day would be meeting at a ramp. Running out on a skiff and poling shallow waters as the hunt begins. Expect longer cast from 40 to 80 ft out. Creating more opportunities for a fish of a lifetime. With the right conditions there could be days where a cane pole could get the job done. Expect multiple shots at tailing and backing redfish, layed up snook, and stringing Tarpon. I run across alot of triple tail and cobia moving locations. Nothing suprises me in the good ole Tampa Bay. Bring your talent and lets get it done!
