It’s Game Time with Get The Net
Trips and instruction
Northern California is an angler's paradise. Folsom Lake, Lake Berryessa, Collins Lake and others consistently produce rainbow trout, landlocked king and sockeye salmon (aka Kokanee). With special arrangements, Get The Net Guide Service can even fish high country lakes like Stampede, Donner and Tahoe.
Our trips can be private, with no more than 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children per trip in order to ensure a more personal and -if you want- instructional experience.
Contact me, and let's put together a Northern California guided fishing adventure!
If you are going on a fishing trip with us soon... be sure to review this checklist.
Tom Mailey
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest with a dad and older brother who fished, I can't even recall the first time I held a rod. I have fished northern California waters now for salmon and trout for over 30 years. Since starting Get The Net in 2020, I've found I love being a fishing guide and introducing folks to the sport. My "regular" job for the past 32 years is being the "Tom" of the "Pat, Tom and Cody Show" on New Country 105.1 KNCI. But my weekend gig, I'm proud to say, is out on the water.
