NO MORE SMOKE IN SHASTA * NO MORE SMOKE IN SHASTA * NO MORE SMOKE IN SHASTA *  Because Of This Fishing Is Fantastic, No One Fished For Two Months 🙂 Get Up Here, Fires Are Out Now. 

So what do you do when the fires come and you have nothing to do but wait because it’s too smoky outside and you’re a fly fishing guide? You start inventing and tying productive bugs… You hope.   🙂

Captain America! Imitates nothing, I was inspired by Marvel Comics legendary hero, the jury is still out stay tuned.

We all know the state flower of California is the Golden Poppy and the state bird, Mountain Quail and the state rock is Serpentine. So I thought to myself one day, well there isn’t a state of California fly for fly fishing, why not create that? So I call this the California Golden State Fly with Golden Gate Bridge Collar. This fly works, me and clients have caught several trout on this great fly ties for California rivers. Maybe one of you fly tiers can tie the dry fly version for our State of California, but this is my nymph version, pretty easy to tie.

Very easy fun – effective fly to tie and use out there on north State rivers, good luck.

Richness worth a second cup, Partner.. Ok, now ready to tie another bug, I got a buzz!

Rubber legs are always good to have in the box, they work on all North State rivers in California and all over the world for that matter. You can’t go wrong tying these up, she’s got legs and she knows how to use them. Stone flies are the prime rib dinner choice of the most finicky trout, serve them up ala tartare.

Ryan Williams California Trophy Bass Lakes, Feather River Steelhead & Lower Sac Legend.

Bass on flies on Clear Lake, he invented fly fishing for bass on Clear Lake and made it a reality folks, no one else can touch his reputation as the PREMIER FLY FISHING BASS GUIDE IN CALIFORNIA RYAN WILLIAMS. The rest are just riding on his coat tail and claiming all kinds of things, but Ryan was the one that made it happen on the water first and not on paper. True story, Jack Trout

(Happy Client of Ryan’s showing off his Large Mouth Bass on a fly.)

I love this kid, he is so honest and such a great Human Being, I have never had a client not totally say, “This guy is a superstar guide!” Way to go Ryan and thanks for pioneering bass in California in very tough unheard of on a fly places.

And another folks! It just doesn’t get any better than 40 fish days with Ryan Williams in his element.

Every client with smiles on their face and catching huge bass with lips like Greta Garble.

All these bass we catch are on all of Ryan’s flies, he can teach you how to tie these bugs, give us a call. He also guides for striper bass.

That’s so cool, I mean when their that size and you catch like 20 +, might want to do a trip on the Lake Oroville and head up and fish with my guide Zach on the North Fork of the Yuba River with Jack Trout Fly Fishing afterwards.

Always like to catch one last trout before the take out. lol

Thank you for coming up and bringing the family! Many rivers to you, Jack Trout & Team Trout Guides

Fall fishing on the McCloud river not awesome, dry fly fishing is spectacular and w are catching trout daily.

Quin McDowell Fly Fishing Guide on the Upper Sac & McCloud Rivers is getting everyone into trout! 

This is great Quin is studying to be a hydrologist at the College of the Siskiyou and guiding for us on the side. Quin has been fishing most of his life and has had nothing but productive trips. We would like to thank the USFS Mount Shasta office for allowing us to have independent contractors. In the Plumas National Forest, they will not allow us to do this over there, so I cannot hire fly fishing guides from Feather River College?

Beef dog now 15 years old folks.

See you out on the Upper Sac, the dry fly fishing is spectacular right now.

Cave Springs Resort, when you come to stay in Shasta area, this is sportsmen headquarters, you can say hi to my good friend for 26 years, Louie Dewey.   www.cavesprings.com He also rents out homes on the river folks and is a wealth of area knowledge and rumors.

Chris Wharton’s Nevada Fly Fishing Trophy Trout Hunts 

Chris Wharton, Nevada’s big trophy fish hunter – Pyramid Lake Opens Soon, Truckee River both Cali & Nevada and the Nevada Trophy Lakes have all been fly fishing fantastic, you need to diversify and head over to Nevada like Mark Twain, you’ll be Roughing It, but you will survive partner. Just be careful in the afternoon for the high winds caused from the Washoe Zephyr that Mark Twain first describe in this book, especially if you live on Park Street in Reno Nevada And Your Covered By All State Insurance.

Inspire Kids To Spend More Time In The Outdoors Like We Did As Kids.

Nevada Trout with the Sierras in the background, you need, you need…

Exotica exists in Nevada and you can head afterwards over to Virginia City and dress up in 1800’s costume like me and Carola do and head over to the Bucket of Blood Saloon on a weekend and hang out with many others who dress in vintage era clothing. I like to dress up around 1862 when Samuel Clemens made it out to Nevada with his brother Orion, later changing his name in Virginia City to Mark Twain and then he went to work for the Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City and made that paper the most important news paper from Chicago to SF in his era – 1862 – to 1868. After some local town drama, he left the Carson area and headed out for California and learned more lessons that would help shape his writing style and career as a novelist. Yea, Nevada has to be my favorite state when it comes to history, I can honestly say in my eyes, California history takes a close 2nd place to Nevada. You might think the same friend after you fish over there and follow my trails I’ve covered in my lifetime.

So you like 20 lb trout on fly rods? Then you’ll love Pyramid Lake.

Oh, so you’ve never caught a Lahotan Cutthroat? We’ll give us a call you are over due friends.

Tiger Trout in the Nevada Dessert? Whooohoooo, you’re getting closer Sizzlers!

Huge rainbows in places that look like Coyhaique Chile, that’s right. Monsters is what were talking about, the next time you’re in Reno. (Every 2 years. 7 months on average most people visit Reno. We get major discounts on lodging in Reno, let us set up your lodging too. )

Jack Trout Fly Fishing Is All The Way To Reno Now! Mt Shasta To Reno, Nevada. (Play this song for 1st half)

Tigers, watch those fingers Chris, there vicious and their fins have claws.

Back at Pyramid lake, everyone’s grandpa is catching huge cutthroat trout in a lake that gets its water backwards from Lake Tahoe where it empties into the desert floor with no outlet? Who thought of this? Many lakes in Nevada are just that, a mystery and then all these trophy trout that exist within those boundaries..

And now you have the rest of the story.. This is Paul Harvey..Good Day!

Wow, what in the hell is this? A White Striper Bass you say Chris? How about we name him Bud Whipper, since we found that budweiser can when we pumped his stomach… lol

A lot of crazy colored streamers get steelhead’s attention in this river.

Hello Human Kindness, Hello Smith River… I’d rather be fly fishing swinging flies.

Places like this you can actually see steelhead and salmon, it’s amazing the color of this precious river.

This picture reminds me of a section of the Petrohue River in Chile in the Lakes District.

Hook up in the tail out, wow this is a huge steelhead that ultimately ended up getting off, but the fight was incredible and five jumps and he was off..

The perfect spot to swing flies for steelhead folks.

Not this one and it was as silver as a Carson City Morgan Dollar.

I Call On You, The Generation Coming Up, Be Bolder Than The Previous Generation Protecting Our Rivers, Salmon, Steelhead & Trout, The Criminal Element Has Advanced In Their Dastardly Deeds.

Oh yea, that’s a great hook up folks!

In California Rivers We’ve Lost Sockeye Salmon, Pink Salmon, Chum Salmon, Kokanee Salmon, Bull Trout & Stone Trout. Silver Salmon Are Endangered. What Are Water Districts & Farmers Doing So The American Public Are Not Just Eating Bass In The Year 3000?

The Problem With California Water Isn’t The Farmers, It’s The Greedy Water Districts That Have Never Learned To Share And Look Towards Creating Wins/ Wins For The Farmers & the Salmon. It’s American Greed At Its Finest, Profits Over Everything, Even Their Own Investors. Wondering Who That Could Be?

We offer trips on both the Nevada & California Truckee River fly fishing guided trips with all gear included and a great lunch.

We specialize in beginner couples and my guide Chris is the best.

Dave Swanson and his daughter had a great trip last week on the Truckee river a great place to drive to after fishing with us in another region in two states.

1968 to 2018 – October Marks The 50th Year Anniversary Of The Wild Scenic Rivers Act In California

We passed AB975 Wild & Scenic Rivers Act added designations SB854 for the Molkelumne River and was added as Wild & Scenic Designated on a state level, now we need to secure its safety federally. With a little help from my friends at the Friends of the River, we’ll get’r done folks!! I really think all fly fishing people and guides should move their support over to the Friends of the River, unfortunately groups like Cal Trout have sold out folks and support clubs over giving the Westlands Water District a ration of hell for buying the Bollibokka Club out from underneath the Nature Conservancy? That was the one that got away from every Californian, the Bollbokka Club on the McCloud River was lost to the Westlands Water District on Cal Trout’s Watch. Anyone working with Westlands or for Westlands Water District should be ashamed of themselves they are as greasy as it gets, they make movies about companies like these. I have given up on some that play favorites based on heritage and family names over grass-root supporters trying to get the Westland Water District the Darth Vadar’s of Rivers off the McCloud river. It could of been done if we had support from the organizations we all rely on. This is why I now support Friends of the River to look out after California rivers. I have asked over and over for years for help getting the NATIVE BULL TROUT REINTRODUCED ON THE HEARST PROPERTY ON THE UPPER McCLOUD RIVER WHERE THE SPRINGS ARE COLD COMING OUT FROM ANCIENT AQUIFERS DIRECT FROM MT SHASTA. THE PROGRAM WAS GOING GREAT UNTIL THE TOXIC CHEMICAL SPILL OF 1991 ON THE UPPER SAC AND THE PROGRAM WAS DEFUNDED. SINCE THEN HELP BY ANY ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN NON-EXISTENT.

We could get native Bull Trout from the Metolius River in Oregon and bring them down to the Upper McCloud, a very similar piece of river and get those Bull Trout reintroduced, what do you need your heads examined, this should of been done years ago? Instead, the DFG was stocking browns and brooks, that was dumb? We need our native fish back in the rivers they were born in and belong. All the guides should consider Friends of the River as they have our backs in the future. F.O.R. are way more influential then Cal Trout on a Government level as we do actual drop-ins as a group at the State Capitol, we never did that. This is why in my opinion Friends of the River is my choice as the go to organization for protecting rivers and streams in California, they deserve our support. They have promised not to let companies like Westlands and others to infiltrate Friends of the River like other organizations they join to secretly influence decisions. I want to kick Westlands in the future right where it counts the most in their diversions and dams, so I have chose to take the Government route to do this. I’m really looking forward to the next 20 years, I love a good fight against ex-felons like Westlands Water District & Tom Birmingham.

(Never forget this, Retired Judge Rick Sims of Sacramento out in my boat, “Jack, the Westlands Water District tried to infiltrate the Department of Fish & Wildlife Commission with a mole so they could influence water decisions in the State of California, luckily we got word before this could became a reality.”)

This is what burns inside of me to make a change, unfortunately any organization can be influenced by these water profiteers, I speak for the rivers only. Jack Trout

Costa Rica River Fly Fishing Jungle Trips

Fly fishing in Costa Rica is a real hoot and we have some of the best fly fishing in all of Central America on rivers fly fishing.

http://jacktrout.com/index.php/destinations/costa-rica

You’re going to love this trip, possible with your gal and get this, $375 USD per day for two anglers, with gear and lunch included. 🙂  Happy Days folks, you don’t have to work for Wall Street to buy a day trip from us.

How about this trophy sized Machaca that engulfed a black and white bird poop fly and later we hooked a smaller one on a rose pedal fly. These fish like to eat flowers and bird droppings, especially with bird seed or better yet corn.

Now there’s a challenge for any fly tier, mixing in those multi colors at the vice and making it look like crap.

Good luck.

Whooohooo, did they have a great honeymoon or what! Yea, Team Trout !

Romania is the place to fly fish if you find yourself in Southern Europe, you’ll like our guide George and he’s not a Vampire as someone asked me a few weeks back, you’ll like the River Avrig and some of the tribs we fly fish on with small wt rods and dry flies.

That’s a small window to cast in from that distance… Impressive Craig!

Nice hook up Craig, and this small river is perfect for a 2, 3 or 4 wt. rod. Little cutie pies, but on sm wt rods it’s a real hoot and you will love the scenic beauty and the mountain ranges of the Carpathian Mountains and Natural Parks all over Romania.  http://jacktrout.com/index.php/destinations/romania

We also offer one day fly fishing trips in Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, we can make anything happen, let us know.

We Have day trips available when you’re ready folks, let your friends know please, we have worked hard to find these quality guides and set up affordable fly fishing worldwide with everything included. The way it should of always been.

Cuba Classic Tours # 1 Tour Company On Tripadvisor For Safe Legal Cuban Travel – Our 4th Year!! Thank you for your referrals.

Cuba Tour (Private)

What can I say. We loved Cuba. We loved our tour and our tour guide Lily. I always try not to go with a cruise tour unless absolutely necessary. I’m so glad I did with Cuba Classic Tours. It was a private tour. It was everything we expected and much more. I booked the tour with Jack and he was so understanding and helpful explaining what we would see on the tour. We booked a 4hr tour which was more than enough for my husband and I. Then we were in contact with Jesse who was one of the tour guides in Cuba via email. When we got off the ship Lily was holding a sign with our name on it. She was easy to find. We walked and talked for about 2hrs through the local streets and squares. We went shopping for cigars and rum. She was very accommodating. Jesse checked up on us from time to time to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. For the next two hours we rode in an old fashioned fifties care bright yellow with purple flames. It was pretty cool. We were hungry so we asked Lily to take us to a local cuisine. We bought the driver which I forgot his name and Lily lunch. He was so sweet too. After lunch we did more sightseeing. I can’t thank Lily, the driver, Jesse and Jack and his wife enough for making our Cuba trip so memorable. Just remember to tip generously. They depend on it. I will spread the word. Great job everyone. With Love. Lily
