Guided fishing for salmon and trout on Folsom Lake.
Get The Net Fishing Guide Service offers guided sport fishing on the foothills lakes near Auburn and the greater Sacramento region, targeting landlocked king salmon and rainbow trout. Trips run primarily on Folsom Lake, with outings also available on Collins Lake and Bullards Bar. Half-day trips last roughly five to six hours and include tackle, bait, rods, and reels, with ultra-light gear available on request, while clients bring their own food, drinks, and a cooler with ice. The service is licensed, bonded, and insured under a Coast Guard-certified captain. Owner and guide Tom Mailey has fished Northern California for salmon and trout for more than thirty years, founding the business in 2020. Visitors book it for an experienced, fully equipped local guide who handles the gear so anglers can focus on the catch, available year-round.
