Seth Mitchell's Guide Service

Seth Mitchell's Guide Service Seth's Fishing Guide Service loves taking hard working Americans and folks traveling through Northern California fishing. Any skill level is welcome on my boat.

We catch fish and learn about the outdoors. Bottom line, I'm a polite and ethical guide. I provide quality fishing trips with a mellow atmosphere on the Sacramento, Feather, and Yuba River. I offer fishing trips for a wide variety of fish species that inhabit the deep dark depths of our Northern California rivers. Come enjoy a SCENIC fishing trip with no yelling, poor river ethics, or cruddy gear.

If you want to fish alone, that's fine. We accommodate fishers of all types via drift boat, or jet boat. You don't have to worry about fishing with people you don't know in my boat. If you're looking for a one on one experience with a true born and raised local, come check me out. I am a young energetic guide that can put you on the fish regardless of the conditions. You can always count on me to give you a full day on the water that won't be cut short, because of a limit. Fly fisherman are always welcome here. I enjoy swinging flies as much as spin fishing. At 18 years old, I was a fly fishing guide and instructor for a lodge near Mt Shasta. If I am ever booked and you need a guide, count on me to help you find someone that you can enjoy yourself with.

Just a reminder to everyone that the Feather River has a Salmon season that opens today. Though I am too busy doing humanitarian work, I wanted to let everyone know.

Take care all and tight lines to those that brave the crowded waters 🤙

Howdy folks!

Were still fishing, but I've had to take a break from the guide scene for now. The Park Fire recovery has brought a heavy work load, and the Eco tourism has taken a pretty big dive in California. Our seasons have been cut and it doesn't look like they will change for the guides anytime soon.

I'm still gonna post every now and then, but I will be focusing on my personal page for what's going on. I'll still be running a few trips, but I will be focusing on my Arborist gig for a while.

Just wanted to give an update to you all.

Getting ready for Striper season folks. Gearing up and I'm ready for the beat down this year. Fishing should open up after this weather we are getting in Nor Cal.

I've been busy as heck in Cohasset after the Park Fire, but I'm all in when it comes to crushing some fish tacos.

If you're looking to book a trip, you should probably get a hold of me. The sooner the better for the busiest guy in Cohasset.

Great day on the Feather River today. Enjoying the winter sun and getting a little fishing in. Had to navigate and portage multiple times due to obstacles, but we made out safe.

Nothing too crazy to report on right now, other than dead Salmon, gold miners, low water, and lots of bum trash...

The Sacramento River has had extremely high flows coming out of Keswick Dam, so it's been bogus water there lately.

Time to hit the lakes high and low, or the Trinity River until things change.

Tight lines everyone!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

Hope everyone gets a chance to get a line wet this winter, or find an inspirational place to relax and begin to say goodbye to 2024'.

Its been one heck of a ride this year for me. Here are some winter time pics and snapshots from some of my favorite watering homes.

Hittin all the lakes around the Giant "O" with the gals. Proving to those who keep bugging me to take it easy, now your proven wrong.

Day by day folks, day by day.

Hope everyone got a chance to hit the water before the colder weather and rain right around the corner.

Now with my new Bimini Top from Redding Canvas, we don't care about the rain no more. Lol 😆

Okay folks,

My heart went back into normal rhythm while in route to get it shocked back in place. I don't understand God's path sometimes, but I do understand the importance of him in my life.

The staff at Enloe has pulled through for me once again and I can only thank them for the difficult job they face every shift.

Thank you to all the family, friends, clients, and supporters during this rough patch.

I'm chillin below the charred hills of Cohasset this evening and not in the rebuilding mecca.

Well, ended up in bummer land yesterday. Heart issues for the first time in my life at 44 years old.

Ugh....thanks to all the fools stressing me out lately. You hard work paid off dummies.

No intoxicating issues, so for those who were spreading rumors about potential for elicit substance use during the Park Fire, or heavy drinking, your as dumb as bricks and have been proved wrong by 2 doctors and a couple nurses yesterday. In fact the stress you caused spreading your crap could have been a factor.

For those agencies, non profit big wig individuals, horrible drivers, local smack talkers, and tree crews that just don't listen......thanks for the stress that boiled over.

For those who were foolish enough to say that Johnathan and I should have saved more of the town of Cohasset, well your inconsiderate and rude. You weren't there during the Park Fire. And you have no idea what WE (those who stayed) went through and continue to go through even after the fire..

I understand people for the most part, but I never support people who lie within my community, start rumors, or bad talk any of us that stayed on the hill, when the fire fighters bailed. If you do, I'll find you and we can have a Man to Man about it. Pretty sure ya don't want that.

Hopefully the stress from this fire ends soon, or Seth's gonna wind up in the wilderness alone and humble, rather than waiting for the stupid to stop stressing me out.

Updates as soon as they come.

Short little kiddo trip with the Salsi family. Killer sunset last night and the big dipper was upright and as big as ever. Love the night mode on my new phone.

Hope everyone is doing good and well out there.

More fishing posts soon. 😁

Goo day out on the front line with Johnathan yesterday. Did our best to do some local fishing in light of all the tragedy we have seen and endured.

RIGHT NOW we have these resources seeking us in Cohasset and boots on the ground yesterday.
-Local tree workers and skilled Arborists on the ground
-Archeologysts showing up to search for belongings and earn remains
-More firefighters with fire prevention equipment
-PG&E onsite and restoring power
-Good law enforcement presence to keep folks from looting and protect homes
-Folks willing to help at the CCA and school
-County and agency officials to inspect and evaluate loss

Too much to list, all good stuff. Remember, the archeologists and demo staff are first, then other resources to follow. All is good and in place.

When you think about prep for whatever disaster, check these couple photos out. Landowners that exhausted all of their fuel and fire extinguishers to s***f the beast.

Take care everyone.

Yes we did catch a couple fish before we had to drop everything to extinguish a hot spot size up, literally a couple hundred feet from the pond.

Go Cohasset Strong 💪

Seth and Johnathan 😎

Thank you to Jason Thatcher and Ron Stone, both local fishing guides as they allowed me to get some R & R with the family at the oars.

Boat ramp, done.

Boat, lended.

Food, prepared and brought to the ramp by Smokin Joe's.

Family friend and no fire surrounding me. Wheeew

If most of you don't know, I helped fight the Park Fire in Cohasset. I love there, cut trees there, fish there, enjoy family and friends there, and I stick up for forest tender boxes that have never burned.

Love you all!

Don't mind the heat, but had to escape to fish the big water with the Schertz family. Always a blast minus having to replace numerous rusted non stainless bolts afterwards.

Stay cool everyone 😎
