Why fish with Mike

Same river, every week, since 2001

Local, not a circuit guide

Mike lives in Penn Valley and fishes the same water every week. He knows where the fish hold in October and what the bite looks like in May. That's how you put people on fish.

Everything's on the boat

Rods, reels, terminal tackle, bait, ice, fish cleaning at the end of the day. You bring a current California license, layers, a hat, and food for the day.

First-timers welcome

Brought your kids? Never fished before? Good. Mike's job is to get you on fish and teach you the why if you're curious. No attitude.
