Fly Fishing the Central Valley,
with Capt. Mark Pinto
(This presentation will be made in person.)
 Captain Mark Pinto grew up in Manteca and started tying flies in 1970 at the age of 10 by holding the hook in his fingers. A neighbor, who owned a cabin around Mt. Lassen, took him fly fishing when he was 12, where he caught several wild rainbows on a fly he tied, he was hooked!
After he got his driver's license, he began to explore the nearby tail waters near Manteca, these were very unknown except for a few locals. He always wondered why people traveled so far to fly fish for trout when there were several great streams right on their own backyards. In 1984, he started Home Waters Guide Service to teach anglers of the nearby options. The main core of his "Home Waters" were the Mokelumne, Stanislaus, Calaveras and Putah Creek. Later he also added the American, Feather and Yuba rivers, along with the Delta. His program, "Fly Fishing the Central Valley", is an introduction to these waters.
