Big Valley Guide Service
Hi, I'm Charlie Gonzales, growing up on the American
River and surrounding waters for over thirty years has
taught me what each season has to offer for the beginning
and experienced fly fisherman. And now I am excited that I
will have the opportunity to pass on the knowledge that I
have gained in that time. I can guarantee that every time
we are on the water, you will come away with a larger
perspective on the "hows" and 'whys" of whatever species that
you are after, and that you will have a great time while
doing so.
Or Call me @ (916)716-8471
A day on the water typically starts at day break and lasts
for about ten hours, but evening trips can be arranged
also. I will provide a great lunch of your choice, drinks,
snacks, some flies and lots of instruction. We will be
fishing from  my 16 foot Hyde low profile drift boat for
trips on the American, Yuba, and Feather Rivers for  
striped bass, trout, steelhead and shad

A full day of fishing is only $3
75.00, and only $225.00
for half day.
