Some of the veteran fly fishing guides in Nor Cal have gotten together to form guide groups now.
Shasta Trout has a collection of top Nor Cal guides you can feel comfortable booking.

Confluence Outfitters is another excellent group of veteran Nor Cal/Southern OR guides.

Bill---There is another independent fly fishing guide group based in the Truckee area; established in 2002 prior to the two you have mentioned. Currently our only high-profile presence is at the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show. We have been with the show since it's inception in Marin county. We are a bit more low-key relaive to our marketing in the Internet though. In the future we will have a seperate site under the www.TruckeeGuideNetWork domain.
There are four (4) of us now, originally there was three. On our individual websites we have internal hyper-links to each other's websites. In the interim, go to www.cyberfly.com/TruckeeGuideNetWork.html for a brief info on who and what we do. From there you can access or individual websites.

Wonder who all you would suggest for guiding in Truckee area in August. I followed the link but was hoping to get a little insight on who I should sign up with.

Good question! My opinion is that you let the prospective fly fishing guide know what you want to accomplish, your skill levels, past experience and expectations. A reputable one will let you know if your requests are doable.
Be honest relative to your skill levels. An veteran guide can adjust seamlessly, not necessarily so with a new one; especially one OJTing. Essentially, we're talking honest and open communication...from the start...prior to your guide date.
I've authored an article that has been published in numerous fly club newsletters, a regional magazine and on-line. It is entitled "What To Expect When You Hire a Guide". If you want to see it in it entirety, please contact me off-line. If Bill wants me to share it with the Board; he'll let me know.
