I will be in San Francisco for business in June and wanted to do some fishing (if possible) close by. It seems as if the trout streams are always 3-4 hours away and I don’t have that kind of time. Any thoughts on fishing closer to SF? Guide service?
Here are some recommendations for area Striper and Largemouth Bass guides.

Are streams the only acceptable water for fly fishing? It’s OK if they are, I’m just asking because there are lots of lakes much closer than the 3-4 hour number you mentioned.

Don’t forget your non-resident CA fishing license: [url=http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/sportfishingfees.html:1d6de]http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/sportfishingfees.html[/url:1d6de]
Putah Creek is less than 3-4 hours (unless traffic really sucks) but make sure you clean your gear afterwards (New Zealand mud snails).
The Yuba, lower Sacramento River, some places on the Delta (guides available too most likely)…you can get a decent fishing report weekly from the San Jose Mercury News’ web site. Here’s the current report (updated on Thursdays, current report should be free):
