Tours

Currently guided trips are only available in Northern California. We will be expanding into Ohio, Arkansas and New York in the very near future. If you have a desire to make a trip to an area that is not currently being offered, please do feel free to contact us anyway as we may still be able to accommodate your needs.
 
We are proud to announce the "Darby Creek Outfitters Guaranteed Catch".
To avoid that feeling of being skunked, if you (read that as "we"), fail to get you into the fish,
your trip is 1/2 off for that day or you may choose a free return trip.
