Buck Wild flyfishing is owned by Brian “Bucko” Theriot Jr., son of Castle Stone Cottages owner Brian Theriot and Theriot Family Trust. Brian Theriot Jr. is built Nor Cal’s number one fly fishing guide service as featured on BuckWildFlyFishing.com. Bucko started years ago as Red Hackle Fly Fishing but expanded to the brand Western Anglers Guide Service and now Buck Wild Flyfishing, a world class fly fishing guide service that incorporates the Castle Stone Cottages in overnight and multiple night stays with guide services if requested.
Buck Wild Flyfishing Service offers big fishing. Thirty-five miles of outstanding trout water, easily accessible from Interstate 5 and the railroad grade that follow the river. Railroads follow the river. So it is with the 35-mile stretch of the Upper Sacramento between Lakehead and Cantara. Here, the Upper Sac tumbles through a canyon and down a boulder strewn course, ever widening and smoothing into riffles and runs as it gathers strength from numerous creeks: Soda, Castle, Flume, Shotgun, Slate, and Dog. The Union Pacific’s main north-south line runs along the river’s course as does Interstate 5, yet the pounding of train and truck traffic is muted by aspens, pine, and spruce along the river’s course. Whether with fly, spinner, or bait, for rainbows and browns this area surrounding Castle Stone Cottages is the finest in the West for sport trout fishing. California Game and Fish officials provide heavy stocking. Trout, largely rainbows that have migrated up from Lake Shasta below Lakehead, reached more than 5,000 per mile and continues to grow. Species: Rainbow. Angling methods: spin, bait, and fly-fishing.
At Buck Wild Flyfishing Guide Service we strive to meet our clients needs, providing you with a memorable day on some of northern California’s best Blue Ribbon trout fisheries. We can help you put together whatever fly fishing adventure you might have in mind. We also do specialty trips during the season that allows you to customize your fly fishing experience.
If you book a full day guide service with Buck Wild Flyfishing Guide Service (formerly Red Hackle Fly Fishing/Western Anglers) you will receive discounts off your stay at Castle Stone Cottage Inn, subject to availability.
Guide
Brian “Bucko” Theriot: Brian has been plying the waters of northern California since he was a young boy. After spending many summers on family vacations in Castella, a mere stones throw from the pristine waters of the Upper Sacramento River, he developed a passion for fly fishing. His passion eventually lead to graduating from the Clearwater Guide School and starting his own guide service while also a star guide for Clearwater Lodge’s guide staff. Brian’s easy going personality and patient demeanor make him a great guide choice for the beginner as well as the seasoned angler looking to learn new techniques on both moving and still waters.
