Putah Creek Tour
Northern California Waters - Winters, 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!
Putah Creek Tour
Discover the allure of Putah Creek, nestled just west of Winters in the California foothills. This unique tailwater fishery is home to a thriving population of wild rainbow trout, making it a must-visit for any fly-fishing enthusiast.
While the creek can be challenging to fish, the rewards are great. Our use of small flies, sizes 18 to 22, and small 5X and 6X tippets, makes fishing at Putah a true test of skill. The Putah Creek Tour is designed to introduce fly-fishers to this incredible fishery, providing opportunities to learn about access areas, flies, setups, and wading skills. It's a perfect place to fish and hone your nymphing skills.
