Bent Rod Fly Fishing Adventures Guided fly fishing trips on the best rivers in Northern California. Feather River-Lower Sac-Lower M Hi and welcome to Bent Rod Fly Fishing!

My name is Chris and I would love to tell you a little about this business of mine and the passion which it has come from. Grab a cup of coffee and join me for a bit. Explore this page here and be sure to visit my full website as well! I am a Northern California native and have lived here all my life. I have been fishing these rivers since I was able to hold a rod. I remember family vacations were

2 weeks spent camping in the Trinity Alps, the perfect vacation for someone like me. My love of fishing only grew stronger over the years and has become such a part of me my family would swear my fly rod was an extra appendage. I had always used spin gear until one summer day in the Bishop area. I was on a fishing trip with my father who was fly fishing. I took a break from fishing and sat and watched my father fish for a bit. I couldn't believe it when I saw a fish come up and eat his fly! I have been hooked ever since. My first experience with drift boats came in the 80’s. My good friend Rob Yuen was in training to move up to Oregon and be a salmon and steelhead guide. I got to be the guinea pig. I was amazed at what those boats could do and was soon dreaming of a boat of my own. My first boat was a Dave Scadden pontoon boat that I learned to row in and hone my skills. After a couple years I finally saved enough money to buy my first drift boat. I have been rowing now for about 15 years and I still love it. Since I spend so much time on the water I figured I should know what to do in an emergency so I participated in a 3 day training course to become a certified Swift Water Rescue Technician. I am also certified in CPR as well as First Aid. After all these years I still love sharing my passion for fishing with others. Nothing beats the thrill I get seeing someone hook a fish for the first time. When you are ready to really enjoy a day of fishing give me a call.

Well the smoke has finally cleared and we are seeing blue skies again!! The weather has been fantastic this week with most days about 90 degrees at the peak. The fishing has also picked with some VERY nice fish being hooked.

If you want to loose the “Dog Days” blues now is the time!

Well now that the season is over I’ll post a report on the Klamath Stonefly hatch. In a word....AWSOME! We were raising 40-60 fish per day while throwing big dry flies. Most fish were in the 12”-14” range with a few “ beefy” fish in the 16” range. You might wonder why I don’t post reports during the season...... I forgot to mention in 4 weeks we never saw another boat!!!

For you guys that didn’t make it this year mid May-mid June is go time!! Book your date in April.

Here is a couple pics of typical fish.
