Hex Hatch Tour
Northern California Waters - Lake Almanor, CA
Since Lance Gray & Company introduced the “Fly Fishing Tours”— guided trips for fly fishers who wanted to learn more about particular fisheries, species, or styles of fly fishing in Northern California, we’ve had over 850 fly-fishers in the Tour Program.
Kirsten and I are proud to offer fly fisher these special tours. We focus on all aspects of fly fishing, from Lake Almanor Hex Hatch to chasing steelhead in the Sacramento Valley rivers to fishing high mountain lakes.
They are just a unique way to bring you, our guest, a valued experience based on what you have come to expect from Lance Gray & Company.
The tours are designed for anglers who want to expand their knowledge of access points, hatches, flies, rigging, and needed equipment to gain confidence, develop skills, and log valuable experience while being directed through the process.
If you’re ready to dramatically shorten the learning curve for anglers who want to fish these waters independently, sign up for a tour this season!
Hex Hatch at Lake Almanor Tour
The “Hex Tour” is a simple, straight-to-the-point tour that focuses on the “Hexagenia Limbata” and the areas at Lake Almanor where it is found.
We drive the lake's west shore, pointing out access areas and fishing tips for each fishing access with the equipment and flies we use during our day-to-day guiding operation. The tour is much more about where and when. We cover the entomology of the Hexagenia and why it’s found at Lake Almanor. This hands-on tour gives the fly fisher a firm understanding of how to fish the Hex Hatch at Lake Almanor.
