-Your Guide-
Shay Peterson has lived on the Mendocino Coast for over 30 years. During that time, his passion for this outdoor fishing wonderland—and the beauty of the rugged coastline—has led him to explore every river on the coast from the town of Gualala to north of Westport, California. His deep knowledge of each river system and its unique characteristics has become an invaluable resource when curating unforgettable fishing adventures for his clients.
With a detailed understanding of these coastal weather patterns, river flows, tides, and the nuances of every watershed, Shay knows when, where, and how to chase these legendary wild coastal steelhead. Combined with top-of-the-line gear and years of hands-on experience, he ensures that every trip offers the best chance for success—and a great time on the water.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, these guided adventures are designed to be both educational and fun.
“When we fish this Northern California coastline, we want to have fun, keep smiles going throughout the day, and catch these iconic Chrome Steelhead. We might fish up to two different river systems in a single day. Depending on the weather, we could target smaller creeks that stay clear when others are blown out, or head to the larger watersheds when the timing is right.”
“Every river on the Mendocino coast has its own character and offers something different. That alone provides an amazing visual experience for our clients—and then there are the wild fish. These steelhead come straight from the ocean, which is sometimes less than 100 yards from where you hook them. They’re incredibly strong, chrome bright fish.”
The combination of these magical coastal rivers, the quality of the fish, and the camaraderie shared on the water make for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Spend a day fishing with Shay and discover why the Mendocino Coast is one of Northern California’s hidden angling treasures.
