Fall River, with Andrew Harris
Fall River is California's premier spring creek, flowing for 21 miles through Fall River Valley and home to countless thousands of quality wild rainbows. This is Andrew Harris' main guide destination during the summer months. He has guided the Fall River for ten years. The Fall River offers consistent hatches, big fish, and cold, clear water. Andrew's presentation will cover public access and the four main techniques fished on Fall River: dry fly, twitched nymphs, extended downstream nymph drifts, and streamer fishing. He also will discuss the major hatches and the topography of the river, and reveal some tricks that help with these frequently fussy rainbows.
Andrew began his guiding career in 1997 when he attended the "Guide School" at Clearwater House on Hat Creek. Since then, Andrew has guided for Clearwater House during the summer and independently during the winter months. Since 2006 Andrew's guide service has been a part of Confluence Outfitters, a regional guide service serving northern California and southern Oregon.
Andrew's interest in fly fishing has taken him to the Bahamas, Belize, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Venezuela, New Zealand, Tasmania, and to countless destinations in North America. Andrew lives in Red Bluff, California with his wife Katie and daughter Mackenzie. Andrew is a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor and Lead instructor for the Guide School at Clearwater House on Hat Creek. He has authored articles appearing in the Northwest Fly Fishing and California Fly Fisher magazines as well as his book, the Plumas National Forest Trout Fishing Guide.
