In 2001 I started Inland Adventures Guide Services. Over the past 8 years of guiding, I've met many new friends that share my passion to be on the water. Spending 200+ days a year on the water, I have learned that to be successful you must learn your home waters. I was fortunate to have been born and raised in the small town of Ripon, CA located on the banks of the Stanislaus River (Stan). The Stan starts in the high Sierra flowing through numerous dams, the last two being New Melones and Tullock.

A few minutes from my home, the Stan enters the San Joaquin River that flows North to Stockton. Fishing these rivers for the past 40 years, I must say it is an incredible fishery. Other Valley Rivers that I offer trips on are the Mokelumne, Tuolumne, Feather and the mighty Sacramento. I fish all these rivers at various times of the year.

Fishing many of the Central Valley Rivers from the reservoirs to the Delta, you will encounter many different water conditions and river flows. One boat can't do it all. Therefore, I have accumulated four. They are all-out fishing machines that I and friends have spent many hours customizing. We fish in comfort and get into uncrowded areas where there are fish

As you can see, there are many fishing opportunities in the Valley. Only a short drive into the foothills we have many of the best fishing lakes in the state. New Melones, Don Pedro, Mc Clure, and Tullock to name a few. We can arrange trips on these lakes throughout the year.

These past 8 years of guiding have been some of the most enjoyable years of my life. Helping clients become better fishermen and sharing the excitement of catching a fish of a lifetime is very rewarding.
