Lake Almanor Creek Tour
Northern California - Almanor, CA
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 offer fly fishers 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 a unique way to bring you, our valued guest, an 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 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 independently, sign up for a tour this season!
Lake Almanor Creek Tour
The Lake Almanor area has more than just the lake. We have six creeks in our area that offer excellent fishing opportunities. Deer Creek, Warren Creek, Gurnsey Creek, North Fork of the Feather River, Butt Creek, and the Hamilton Branch.
Both wild and stocked fish can be found on these creeks. Large fish, 4–6-pound fish, are caught every year in the North Fork of the Feather River, Butt Creek, and Hamilton Branch that come from the lakes to spawn or escape the hot lake water. Access is everywhere, with many of the creeks having campgrounds located on their shores.
Dry fly or nymph fishing is the name of the game on the creeks. We fish these creeks from late June to the end of the season. Caddis, stones, and the October Caddis all live in the creeks.
