Stoddard Guide Service

Captain Rob started fishing young with his father and grandfather and has spent over 25 years learning our local rivers and lakes inside out. He became a guide to share the excitement of big catches with everyone from beginners to veterans, running safe trips with full U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License, CDFW Guide License, First Aid, CPR, and drug testing compliance.
