Wanting to venture out of our comfort zone, we decided to try out fly fishing! We booked a tour with Mike from Off the Hook Fly Fishing Travel. He was so friendly and helpful on the phone that we were all excited about the adventure ahead!


Since we didn’t have any fishing gear or equipment, Off the Hook was there to provide us with PataGUCCI waders, shoes, and of course fishing poles!

We had such an amazing experience floating down the Yuba River, learning how to cast, and just enjoying the beautiful serene river.


Between the three of us, we hooked at least twenty trout, but Stephy was the only one that was able to land a single rainbow trout! Our guide was very skilled and fun person to fish with, thank you Tayler for being awesome and patient with us!

Special THANKS to our awesome Guide/Guru/Fish-Whisperer Tayler Wells, Mike Copithorne for putting together this amazing trip, and Austin Owens for the great INSTA-photos! You guys rock!



If you’re ever in the Northern California region, I would highly recommend Off the Hook for your next fly fishing adventure!

Also, want to give a shout out to Instagram user #flyfishing_flygirls for featuring our photos during their photo credit weekend! Thank you!
