About Brock

I've been wading Northern California's rivers since I was old enough to hold a rod. This isn't a second career for me — it's the thing I'd be doing on my days off anyway. The difference is I get to bring people along.

I pick the water based on flows, season, and what's been producing — not by habit or convenience. I tie my own flies because the right pattern on the right day matters more than most people realize. And I'll tell you when the fishing is slow, what's working, and when to switch.

I've put beginners on their first trout and worked the same tailwater with experienced anglers who just wanted a fresh set of eyes. Both days are worth doing. Get in touch — let's talk water.

"The runs that are actually fishing today might not be the same ones you read about last month. That's the job — knowing the difference."
— Brock Wilson
Where We Fish

Northern California's best water.

Freestones, tailwaters, lakes, and high-country streams. The right water for the time of year — and what's producing.

Tailwater fishing Northern California
01 Tailwater
Trophy Tailwaters

Cold, consistent flows year-round. Where big fish hold tight and presentation has to be right.

Freestone river fly fishing
02 Freestone
Wild Freestone Rivers

Classic Northern California streams — wild fish, technical water, hatches worth planning around.

Alpine lake fly fishing California
03 Lakes & Reservoirs
High-Country Lakes

Still water demands different skills — reading the flats, fishing the edges, spotting fish before they see you.

Private water access fly fishing
04 Private Access
Less-Pressured Water

Access spots that see a fraction of the traffic. When public water is crowded, there are always options.

Client Testimonials

From the people who've been out with Brock.

Real clients, real days on the water. These are placeholder quotes — Brock will swap them for his actual reviews before launch.

★★★★★

"Brock knew exactly where the fish were before we even stepped in the water. We had fish on by 7:30 AM. Best day I've had on a Northern California river — and I've been fishing this area for fifteen years."

"I'd never held a fly rod before this trip. By hour three I was landing fish on my own. Brock has the patience to actually teach you, not just hand-hold you through the day. I'll be back with my son next spring."

"The loaded fly box is worth every penny. I've bought flies from shops up and down the state — these are the first ones that perform the way they're supposed to when it counts. Ordered a second box the same week."
