Steelhead fishing with Valley Guide Service

North Coast Rivers

December - March

530-741-1522

    If your dream has been to land the incredible strong fighting winter run Steelhead, then a drift boat trip down one of the North Coast rivers  such as the Eel, Mattole, Van Duzen or Smith  will be the trip for you. Floating down the river through the giant Redwoods is worth the trip alone. But the reason we are here is for the hard fighting wild Steelhead averaging 8 - 13 lbs. Multiple hookups per day are common with the chance for a twenty lb. plus fish  lurking in every drift. Having several base camps on these rivers allows us to target the best rivers  the conditions allow. Enjoy your adventure while seated in a heated drift boat with a rain top to keep you comfortable. All Loomis rods with Shimano reels are provided.
