15 Classic California Fly-Fishing Experience [top]Come join us on a classic California fishing experience in the high mountain streams and rolling coastal surf of our golden state. Two lucky people will be guided onto the broad shoulders of the majestic Mt Shasta to fish some of the West's best blue ribbon trout streams. After conquering the rivers they will be introduced to the largest fishery in the world, the ocean. High above the valley floor is the town of Shasta, where you will stay at the Finlanda hotel to start the first phase of the trip. This will be our starting point to many of the state's best rivers. The Upper Sacramento offers close and easy access minutes away from your front door. The Pitt and McCloud rivers have the state's best freestone pocket water around. These rivers have multiple opportunities to drift a nymph through an emerald green slot or cast a dry fly to a rising trout in a gin clear pool. Once you have mastered the tumbling waters of the streams, we will take you for a day in Monterey Bay's sheltered cove for one of the oceans hidden treasures. Learn to fish the surf zone for Perch. This experience will place you in the surf and show you how to address the tides, swells, currents and waves that make up this calming but powerful environment. Perch are a prolific species that aggressively feed in the holes, rips and channels that make up our local beaches. These often over looked game fish are one of the state's most unique experiences. This adventure can be custom designed for either the novice or experienced angler. We can teach you the basic techniques of reading the water, selecting a pattern and presenting a fly, or we can improve your tight line nymphing and line control skills. Either way you will be pampered throughout the adventure. So come join us in discovering the ultimate fishing experience. For more information about Finalandia see finlandiamotel.com
