ason Thatcher will be speaking to us at our June 10 ZOOM meeting about a rarely visited and rarely fished portion of the lower Sacramento River, south of the portions of the river served by the guides from the Fly Shop in Redding and just north of Red Bluff. Regions Jason has guided include the Bristol Bay region of Alaska and the Trinity, American, Feather and Sacramento Rivers of Northern, CA. He believes in the “local guide, local knowledge” ideal which means he is intimately familiar with the local fish’s life-cycle, habits, habitat, defining traits, and proven, as well as, experimental methods of take. He has the skills, tools, and knowledge to put anglers in the best possible situation for having a successful, comfortable, safe, and

entertaining river fishing adventure. Jason is married to his wife Holly and they have a daughter, Claire. They make their home on the banks of the Sacramento River north of Red Bluff with Jason guiding full-time and Holly working as a registered nurse.
