Guided kokanee, trout & salmon trips in the Yuba County foothills and on the Sacramento River. Fish hard, learn the spots, and bring home a cooler full.
💵 Trips from $200–$300 per adult · All gear includedCaptain Dwayne Chavers has been fishing these foothill lakes and rivers for over 40 years — since he was barely old enough to hold a rod, around four or five years old. That's a lifetime of dialing in where the kokanee, trout, and kings are biting, and exactly how to put you on them.
The Koke Killer is a clean, comfortable boat rigged for serious freshwater fishing — but the trips stay relaxed and family-friendly. Brand new to a downrigger or a seasoned angler, kids and first-timers welcome — you'll leave knowing more than when you got on.
Hard-fighting, great-eating freshwater fish — kokanee, trophy trout, landlocked kings, and big river salmon.
Landlocked sockeye and the reason we're called the Koke Killer. Bright, scrappy, and some of the best eating you'll find in fresh water. Light-tackle trolling at its finest.
Rainbows and browns depending on the water. From chrome holdovers to true trophies, our local lakes stay loaded with hungry trout.
Full-blown king salmon that live their whole lives in the lake — Lake Oroville is famous for them. Bigger than kokanee and a serious fight on the troll.
Fall-run kings on the Sacramento River from Verona through the metro area. When they push through, these are the hardest-pulling fish of the season — pure muscle.
