Jesse runs the boat, rigs the rods, and reads the water, so the day is spent fishing rather than working out where to start. Fly, spin, or centerpin: bring the rod you enjoy, or pick the one you want to learn.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided. Bring a valid California fishing licence, layers for the weather, and lunch. Everything else is on the boat.
