Fly Fishing Putah Creek

Feaster Fishing offers expert guided fly fishing excursions across Northern California and the Bay Area, including Yolo County, Solano County, Lake County, and Napa County.

Led by Johnny Feaster, a one-of-a-kind fishing guide with 25 years of experience, the company is known for its exceptional service and reputation for putting clients on big fish.

Johnny is not only a seasoned guide but also a teacher, helping anglers develop the skills they need to continue fishing successfully on their own long after the trip is over. From beginner level anglers to expert level, Johnny will take you through the steps to ensure you leave the water feeling accomplished and a whole new level of expertise then when you started!

A 12th-generation Californian born and raised in Vacaville, Johnny grew up fishing the rivers and lakes of Northern California, the streams of Alaska, and the shores of Baja, Mexico. With deep local knowledge and a passion for the sport, he specializes in bass fishing at Lake Berryessa and offers walk-and-wade trips on Putah Creek for trout. Johnny is also highly skilled in other notable waters, including the American River, Feather River, Sacramento River, Yuba River, and the coastal surf for perch.

For the past decade, Johnny has spent part of his summers in Alaska, refining his techniques for catching world-class steelhead and salmon. His time in Alaska reignited his love for fly fishing, inspiring him to turn his passion into a full-time career.

Johnny takes pride in teaching clients new techniques and ensuring that every guided trip leaves you with skills that will last a lifetime. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned angler, Johnny is eager to share his knowledge and help you reel in the catch of your life.
