Eastern Sierra Smallmouth
3/4 Day: $500 - 6 hours - 1 to 2 anglers
Full Day: $700 - 8 hours - 1 to 2 anglers
Come chase trophy smallmouth on the fly rod in the beautiful Eastern Sierras! California grows impressive bass and these eastern sierra smallmouth are no exception. These fish offer everything from explosive top-water grabs to acrobatic jumps, and pull harder than you may think possible for freshwater bass this size. Spring and Fall months produce the biggest fish up to 5 or 6lbs, however summer months produce the best numbers. Bass are a great option when temperatures rise and become unfavorable for trout fishing. Smallmouth are my personal favorite fish in the Sierras and an outstanding fish to target on fly gear!
Owen’s Valley Largemouth
Half Day: $400 - 4 hours - 1 to 2 anglers
Full Day: $700 - 8 hours - 1 to 2 anglers
Fly fishing for largemouth bass in the Owen’s Valley is the ultimate challenge for a fly angler in the Eastern Sierras in my opinion. I believe it offers incredibly technical fishing situations, often requiring fishing in and around extremely heavy cover. The Lower Owens River and an extensive system of ponds and canals throughout the valley provide for excellent warm water fishing opportunities at the feet of the towering Sierras.
The Owen’s Valley can be EXTREMELY HOT during summer months so starting EARLY, staying HYDRATED, and dressing for HOT weather is crucial.
ALL FULL DAY TRIPS include a lunch, please let me know of any requests or dietary restrictions.
