Based out of Truckee, Shaun’s Guide Service is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. Shaun is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like light tackle trolling and jigging, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 6-hour trips, you can target species like Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Salmon, and Lake Trout, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your adventure begins on board a 22’ Boulton PowerBoats boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, ice box, and a wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Shaun’s Guide Service.

Conditions weren’t great but still a fun experience.
6 Hour Trip on September 19, 20242 adults
It was cold and windy, but we still had fun. No big fish that day but we caught one smallish sockeye salmon. I will say I was under the impression it would be more “hands on” rather than watching Shaun do the fishing and then just reeling it in (My husband let me do it because it was my birthday), but it was probably the conditions that made it so, or maybe I misunderstand guided fishing? (That could be on me!) He did say it was hard to fish with all the wind. He seemed very knowledgeable and was super pleasant to be around and his dog Jake was adorable. Boat had a heater, which made it bearable in the cold weather. I’m sure if conditions had been better we would have caught lots of good ones. Maybe next time! No complaints.
