Everything You Need to Know About Napa Valley Fly Fishing

During your excursion with Off the Hook Fly Fishing, you can expect to catch striped bass, which are challenging and fun to catch on a fly rod. They range in size from 16 inches long to about 10-15 pounds in the fall. Striped bass can usually be found near rocks, tree limbs or stumps that are submerged underwater. They are considered predators and put up a pretty challenging fight when they are hooked.

Striped bass run all year long in the Napa River. However, the best time of year to catch them is in the fall, which (lucky for you), coincides with the fall grape harvest, or fall crush. During the fall, the larger fish migrate to the Napa River to spawn creating conditions for some of the best fly fishing in Northern California.
