Jeff Goodwin Guide Service- Owners Jeff, Jaynie, and Gracie Goodwin.

Jeff Goodwin Guide Service’s offers year-round guided fishing trips on a few Northern California lakes and the Sacramento River system.  With a well earned reputation for being a top rated fishing charter in northern California, your decision to fish with us should be without hesitation. We guide our clients year round while running hundreds of trips per year on our Northern California waters.  As full time professional fishing guides and USCG licensed Charter Captains, we can offer our guests the very best experience the fishing industry has to offer.

We have been the top choice for lake and river fishing charters in Northern California for several years and offer some excellent guided fishing opportunities on Shasta and local Lakes for landlocked King salmon, Kokanee salmon, rainbow and brown trout. We also offer guided fishing trips on the Sacramento River system for King salmon, rainbow trout, steelhead, and Striped bass when in season.

We have become the premier fishing charter on these lakes and rivers by spending thousands of angler hours on the water every year.  We book all of our year round trips during the peak-near peak periods of each season specific to each body of water.  We do this to ensure our fishing clients have the best opportunity to experience catching the fish we are pursuing that day.  We do however, experience some of our best trips of the year during off peak periods on the water so don't hesitate to book during these timeframes as well. Rest assured, we will always give you an honest fishing report, it’s just how we do business.

fish pics FROM PAST TRIPS

“We drove up from the San Jose area to fish with Jeff on the Sacramento River. Jeff made sure we were well taken care of- great boat, great gear, always making sure we had fresh tackle when we got snagged up and lost hooks/weights. 

We had a trip last year but Jeff called us and let us know fishing was poor and gave us the option to cancel, which we did. His honesty, his efforts to get us fish was very much appreciated.  We definitely will use Jeff again!
