Strip Set Fly Fishing Adventures is your premier San Francisco fly fishing guide, specializing in fully guided, land-based shoreline fishing across San Francisco Bay and the surrounding Pacific beaches. We offer a highly effective, accessible approach to Bay Area fishing by focusing entirely on wade and surf fly fishing. You do not need a boat to experience top-tier angling; our trips put you right on the sand and shoreline structure, casting directly into productive coastal waters.

Whether you are searching for beginner fly fishing in San Francisco or you are a seasoned angler chasing coastal predators, we provide hands-on coaching tailored to your specific skill level. With 15 years of personal fly fishing experience and a deep, lifelong connection to the local waters—having grown up walking these exact beaches—our operation is built on dedicated instruction and authentic local insight. We specialize in fly casting lessons in San Francisco, helping newcomers master line control, read the tides, and ultimately land their very first fish on a fly. Sharing that milestone with our guests is our absolute favorite part of guiding.

Our guided trips target some of the most sought-after coastal species, including Striped Bass, California Halibut, and Barred Surfperch. For anglers looking for premier San Francisco striped bass fly fishing, our beach and Bay sessions are carefully timed to put you in the best position to succeed during peak seasonal runs from April through October, as well as productive winter shoulder seasons.

Every booking with Strip Set Fly Fishing Adventures includes premium, professional-grade fly rods, reels, custom-tied flies, lures, and all necessary leader material. We offer flexible 2-hour, 4-hour, and 8-hour casting and fishing packages meeting at Crissy Field East Beach, allowing you to fish at sunrise or sunset with the Golden Gate Bridge as your backdrop.

As a dedicated San Francisco surf fly fishing guide, our goal is to deliver an educational, engaging, and highly productive day on the water. We blend technical casting instruction with a true appreciation for the local ecosystem, providing an unforgettable San Francisco fishing experience that grounds you deeply in the art of shore-based angling.
