Steelhead and Salmon on the Fly

Our Winter/Spring Steelhead run is something we look forward to every year. Averaging 17-22 inches and big fish landed 10-15 pounds weekly, the fight that these silver bullets is unlike anything you have experienced. With good numbers of these fish taken on the surface and caught using 4-5 wt rods, you will soon come to love Winter/Spring in the Sierra, as much as we do.

Our fall salmon fishing is one of our favorite times of years. Our rivers produce King Salmon up to 50 pounds, and Coho Salmon that average 2 pounds. We fish waters that are rarely fished for these species and usually have these ocean run warriors all to ourselves. With excellent 1/2 pound steelhead fishing to boot, this is a great trip for all.

(Call for Prime Dates) Steelhead and Salmon on the fly ~ $380.00 per day for one or two anglers.

Trophy Trout Stillwaters

Experience one or more of our trophy trout reservoirs over a full day, or overnight camping/fishing excursion. We have some of the most incredible stillwater fishing to be had in the state, catching fish that are measured in pounds, not inches. Lodging arrangements can also be made for you by Sierra West Adventures.

(Year Round) Trophy Stillwaters ~ $380 per day for one or two anglers.

Tailwater Bass Tours

Beginning in spring and lasting until late fall, our trophy bass rivers are teaming with these voracious predator fish. These waters hold large, small and spotted bass, that average two pounds and yield many fish six pounds to ten pounds yearly. They also hold stripers up to twenty pounds and trophy Crappie & Blue gill fishing as well. Other hooked species are catfish, carp and koi, all of which are very exciting flyrod fish.
