Guided Trips/Lodging Trips
Guided float trip for 1/2 people down the Lower Sacramento River. Lunch and gear provided. Offered by Lance and Kirsten Gray. Lance is a regular speaker for numerous fly fishing organizations and a featured writer in several fly fishing blogs and publications. Check out their website and online store!
PJ Bock will offer two guided fly fishing trips. Each will be for 1/2 people with lunch, water, and gear provided. Each trip can take several options. PJ offers a wealth of knowledge on the Lower Yuba, Feather, and Lower Sac with a drift boat. Another choice can be walk 'n wade trips on Hat Creek or the Feather River. Or an instructional clinic on Fly Fishing Basics, Steelhead Tactics, and Euro Nymphing. PJ will be our General Meeting guest speaker on Wednesday, May 10th, 2023. Check out PJ's website for more information.
Mark Antaramian of Mark Antaramian Guide Services will offer a one day guided trip on Lake Almanor for 1/2 people. Unfortunately, he is already booked for the months of June and July of 2023, but has openings during other months. Mark was a guest speaker at the CAF General Meeting last October 2022. With an engineering background, and a lengthy fly fishing history, he has some of the most sophisticated technology in his arsenal of any guides currently out there!
Lincoln Gray is providing a guided float trip down either the Lower Sacramento River or the Feather River for 1/2 people. Lincoln was our guest speaker at the November 9th, 2022 CAF General Meeting. Lincoln's topic was fishing the Feather River and treated the club with an incredibly strategic and informative presentation. We were truly fortunate to have Lincoln step in at the last minute with cancellation of our featured speaker. Check out his website for more information on the kinds of trips he offers! You can also find Lincoln at Sierra Stream & Mountain.
Lincoln Gray has provided the opportunity for 4 people to a 2 night stay at the Digger Creek Ranch out of Manton, CA. This is a private resort with three ponds containing trophy trout!

Captain Bryan "Big Daddy" Roccucci has offered several trips to our Annual Fundraising Dinner over the years. This year is no different, as far as his generosity. However, drought conditions have hampered his trips and this trip remains conditional upon the amount of water available. We are posting this now and Capt. Bryan will confirm that the weather we are currently getting will make this offer a reality. He expects to confirm this offer by the end of January 2023. Take a look at the Big Daddy Guide Service website!
