Welcome to the Drift Fish website

Here you will find everything you need to book a trip and enjoy many great days of fishing here in the beautiful Central Sierra Foothill region.

Only a short two hour and fifteen minute drive from many cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. These guided trips are an easy one day adventure. Take advantage of a multi-day trip, fishing several local rivers. Stay in the historic National Hotel in Jamestown, known as the best Victorian era hotel anywhere in the Mother Lode. Not far from Yosemite, this area has some of the finest fishing for wild rainbow trout in the entire Central Sierra.

	Being a 53 year old, 5th generation Californian, I have fished these local rivers for over 46 years now! I've had a State of California Guides license for over 15 years. I know I have the experience to provide you with a very satisfying angling experience. Being the first and the oldest continually operated fishing guide service in this area, we specialize in fly fishing for wild rainbow trout in the Lower Merced, Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers. Located in the heart of the Mother Lode region we are within minutes of these three rivers.
