Bill Heger Guide Service

7/2/2009 - Great time on the Calaveras! Bill Heger is a superb guide who knows everything there is to know about this river. Bill introduced me to several unique combinations of flies, different lines and techniques to fool these wild rainbow trout. Based on the different situations we faced on the river, he made expert recommendations on whether to nymph, swing a wet fly, or strip a streamer. He even carried extra rods along so I could quickly transition to the best setup. The result was a 15+ fish day with the largest fish exceeding 14 inches...with a fight twice its size. As for streamside manner, you will find Bill to be helpful, not insistent, and a person who genuinely enjoys sharing his insights on his "home river". In sum, Bill is an expert guide, masterful technician, and an enthusiastic fly fisherman whose hospitality you will thoroughly enjoy. Book a trip with him soon and find out for yourself!
