Capt Hogan Brown

Hogan began fly fishing from an early age virtually growing up on the banks of the North Fork and Lower Yuba rivers. He began hitch hiking the 5 miles from his house to the Lower Yuba River with a fly rod in hand in Junior High school. He has chased trout and steelhead in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta provinces in Canada. Far from being a trout snob, Hogan has spent considerable time fishing for largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass and carp on a fly! Hogan has become one of the leading innovators in warm water fly fishing in Northern California. Just as passionate about fly tying, Hogan has developed a unique approach to tying bass, carp, steelhead, and trout flies with the sierra foothills and the CA central valley as his testing ground. Hogan blends many different styles with his own unique approach to create innovative flies for catching bass, carp, steelhead, and trout. Hogan is a contract tier for Montana Fly Co, and many of Hogan’s flies have become staples throughout the West. Hogan began guiding the North Fork and Lower Yuba Rivers when he graduated from high school and eventually relocated to Chico to attend Chico State. Hogan is also the Marketing Director of the non-profit Cast Hope, which is geared at growing the sport of fly fishing by taking out youth on free guided trips, providing free clinics, and free equipment to remove the barriers that keep kids from getting outdoors and fly fishing. With two young boys and a full guide schedule on the Lower Yuba River, Lower Sacramento River, and Feather River along with various bass and carp water and small streams and rivers outside of Chico Hogan stays plenty busy. Hogan is also a published author with articles appearing in both Northwest Fly Fishing and Southwest Fly Fishing Magazine along with Saltwater Fly Fishing Magazine and California Fly Fisher. He is also an FFF certified casting instructor and has appeared on the nationally televised programs Fly Fishing the World with Conway Bowman and The Fly Fishermen. Scott Fly Rods Pro, Echo Rods Pro, Air Flo Fly Lines Pro, Hatch Outdoors Pro, Simms Ambassador, Montana Fly Co.

Lower Sac Stripers

CAPT DARRIN DEEL

Captain Darrin “Revis” Deel has been guiding professionally in California, Oregon and Idaho for nearly a decade now. Darrins work ethic on the water matched with his unparalleled sense of humor sets him apart from your average guide. Being born and raised in Chico, California, Revis practically grew up on the banks of the Lower Sac, Feather and Yuba rivers. He knows each one of these rivers intimately and has a knack for finding fish for his clients regardless of the circumstances. Revis is well versed in Trout, Steelhead, Striped Bass and Shad fishing. He has a deep love of everything outdoors and as a true sportsman he knows there is a time to catch and release and a time to harvest. That’s why, when he’s not putting clients on fish in his drift boat, he’s running his 22′ jet sled, putting limits of salmon and stripers in the boat. When not on the water you’ll find him in a duck blind or under an oak tree calling in turkeys.
