Off the Hook Fly Fishing

Off the Hook Fly Fishing is a booking and guide network rather than a shop, owned by Carrie Copithorne out of the Napa Valley, with Mat Squillante listed as head guide and instructor. Trips stage from San Francisco, Sacramento, Redding, Napa, Tahoe and Yosemite, and the published water list is unusually broad: coastal steelhead, Delta striper and smallmouth, the American, Russian, Feather, Putah Creek and Napa Valley streams, stillwaters including Almanor, Berryessa, Clear Lake, Davis, Oroville, Shasta, Sonoma, Tahoe and Pyramid, and saltwater on San Francisco Bay, the Napa River and San Diego. The company also sells fly fishing classes pitched at a range of skill levels and gift certificates, and it states that its guides hold contracts and permits to fish Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service land.
