Our featured speaker for July is Ryan Williams. Ryan is the owner of North Valley Fly Fishing, based in Oroville, north of Sacramento, CA. He has pioneered adoption of Float n’ Fly tactics for bass to fly fishers as well as developed and popularized fly fishing techniques for spotted and largemouth bass on the large lakes of Northern California.
The topic of his talk will be “Float n Fly: fly fishing & spinning rod tactics.” Ryan will discuss using this technique for both fly and spinning anglers, though as a fly fishing guide his adaptation of this technique is a bit different than most.
Ryan grew up in Vacaville, CA near Sacramento and began fly fishing and tying in 2003 and guiding in 2006. He recently became the first fly angler in the US to win a major conventional bass tournament, the 2021 Lake Shasta Team Tournament on the Wild West Bass Trail, out of a field of 178 boats. He also won the 2019 Costa Bass n Fly tournament that took place in the Sacramento River Delta.
He guides all year on the most well-known waters in Northern California. In addition to guiding for smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass on Lake Oroville, Lake Berryessa, Clear Lake and the Sacramento River, Ryan also offers trips for steelhead, rainbow trout, striped bass and shad in the region.
