Heritage Trout Challenge Tours
Northern California Waters
Since Lance Gray & Company introduced the “Fly Fishing Tours”— guided trips for fly fishers who wanted to learn more about particular fisheries, species or styles of fly fishing in Northern California, we’ve had over 850 fly-fishers in the Tour Program.
Kirsten and I are proud to bring the fly fisher these special tours. We focus on all aspects of fly fishing, from Lake Almanor Hex Hatch to chasing steelhead in the Sacramento Valley rivers to fishing high mountain lakes.
They are just a special way to bring you, our guest, a valued experience based on what you have come to expect from Lance Gray & Company.
The tours are designed for anglers who want to expand their knowledge of access points, hatches, flies, rigging and needed equipment in order to gain confidence, develop skills and log valuable experience while being directed through the process.
If you’re ready to dramatically shorten the learning curve for anglers who want to fish these waters on their own, sign up for a tour this season!
