California Licensed Fly Fishing Guide
I am located in the beautiful town of Sonora, California, about 2 hours east of the San Francisco Bay Area and two hours south from Sacramento, in Tuolumne County. Anyone from beginner to expert will benefit from my experience on the local waters with walk and wade trips on the Merced, Stanislaus, or Tuolumne Rivers. We do float trips on the lower Merced, Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers

I start fly fishing on Burney creek, back in the early 1970’s, and then at Hat creek and Pit River. I have fish most of the River and Lakes in Northern California. I started fly tying and rob building in a class in High school. I have tied commercial and taught fly tying class for more the 35 years.
I have been guiding for 14 years, 5 year as the guide for Mother Lode fly Shop, and 9 years guiding for myself.
I have fish for Tarpon in Florida and Salmon in Alaska and Jacks, Mackeral and Roosterfish in Mexico.
