"We believe in a unique and customized experience for each guest. Reasons for taking guided trips can vary greatly. Weather you simply want an entertaining day on the water, want to learn about a new fishery, learn new tactics, or new species, first timers, I will tailor each trip to your wants and needs."

Ryan Williams

Born and raised in Vacaville CA, Ryan obtained a high level of fly fishing experience at a young age on Putah Creek. Ryan began fly fishing and tying in 2003 and guiding in 2006. Also having worked retail in 2 fly shops. 


After fishing nearly every fly destination and every freshwater species Northern California has to offer, Williams has since been able to narrow down his favorite options, settling down in the center of it all, next to Lake Oroville. Rather than guiding a few choice rivers hard for trout/steelhead throughout the year, Ryan bounces around to many different areas, hitting all the prime seasons. Staying on top of the many different species, and hot bites Northern California has to offer.

Clayton Ono

Born and raised in Vacaville CA, Clayton is our local Putah Creek expert. Growing up about 15 minutes from Putah, Ono has a lifetime's worth of fishing experience here with over 15 years of first hand fly fishing knowledge. Consequently "the creek" has always had a very special place in his heart, and it shows on his trips. A very passionate angler, Clayton is a top notch river steward. All this with an easy going laid back demeanor. 


Having run a fly through every nook and cranny Putah has to offer, he has the creek absolutely dialed and is more than ready to put his guests on some real solid trout!
