Contact Matt Dover Fly Fishing

What is the best way to reach Matt Dover?

Call or text Matt directly at (530) 338-8526, or email mattdover.flyfishing@gmail.com. Matt typically replies the same day or early the next morning. Matt's website has said since February 2024 that he is booked directly rather than through The Fly Shop, so contact him directly to schedule a date.

Where do guided trips meet?

Meeting places depend on the river and the day. Matt guides the Lower Sacramento from Redding and below Anderson, the Trinity from Lewiston downriver, and the Klamath from the Iron Gate launch near Yreka. He confirms the exact meeting place with you before your scheduled date.

• Waders and wading boots for the Trinity (go up one or two boot sizes in winter)
