Step into California’s scenic waters with Gotta Lovitt Guide, led by experienced local guide Richard Lovitt. With deep roots in Northern California’s fishing community, Richard offers a reliable and well-rounded approach to angling across rivers, lakes, and deltas that locals and visitors alike trust.
From the calm currents of the American River to the productive waters of the Sacramento Delta, Richard’s trips are built around timing, technique, and location. Whether you're looking to refine your fly casting on a quiet morning or prefer a day chasing striped bass in active waters, Richard’s expertise ensures you’re fishing in the right place at the right time.
Anglers can choose from a range of trips targeting salmon, trout, stripers, and more—depending on the season. Fish the Feather River when conditions align, explore the deeper waters of Lake McClure, or enjoy a steady day out on New Hogan Lake. Each location offers a unique setting and a variety of species to pursue with spinning gear or on the fly.
Gotta Lovitt Guide focuses on clarity, comfort, and consistency. Richard provides all required tackle and equipment, and every outing includes clear instructions, safety briefings, and local insights. If you’re new to fly fishing or want to brush up on techniques, he offers guidance throughout the trip without overwhelming you.
Richard keeps up with the latest California fishing patterns, including updates on river flow, weather shifts, and species behavior. His ongoing research and decades of experience on the water translate into better conditions and better results for his guests. Whether you’re focused on trout fishing the Sacramento River, pursuing stripers in the Feather River, or enjoying shad season on the American River, Richard ensures your setup and strategy match the moment.
This is a guide service built on relationships—many of Richard’s guests return year after year, bringing friends and family to share the experience. Flexible scheduling, local knowledge, and steady results have helped Gotta Lovitt Guide earn its reputation among Northern California’s go-to services for anglers.
