With our crazy and every changing weather in Northern California our fishing trips happen in all types of weather, fishing and river conditions, like; cold-freezing temperatures but no frost-bite, rain-sometimes heavy but not tsunamis, hot temps but not frying eggs hot, some wind but not tornados, slower than normal fishing conditions, some color to our rivers but not blown out or high/low water flow conditions. 
However, our guiding principle is this;
If we won’t personally fish in the current conditions, we will not guide in it.
While this decision is typically decided by your guide, here at NCFG we feel that getting you involved in making this decision on “YOUR” trip is the only way to go. We will make this decision together.  

NCFG and our guides practice catch & release on all boats.  We respect the sport of fishing and our co-workers (the fish) and wish to give all anglers the opportunity to experience the gratification we strive to give each of our clients day in and day out.  In addition, NCFG and our guides will be practicing the keepemwet style of handling our wild trout & wild steelhead.  What this means, first and foremost, our fish will be handled with the utmost care and always greeted with wet nets & wet hands, NO GLOVES.  Also, if clients would like to take pictures during the day with their prize catch, we will do so by entering the water where our partners in crime live, embracing their habitat and keepemwet while taking a few quick pics.  We are sorry for this inconvenience, however, the keepemwet philosophy will better protect our fish for future generations of not only fish but also future anglers.  After all is said and done, it’s about how we leave our footprint on our fisheries.  This is one way we can do our part.
