Meet the Pro: Jeff Lechtaler of Lechtaler Guide Services

If you have been watching the reports lately, you know the bite is already starting to move. Stripers are already coming in, and if you want to be the one catching instead of just watching, you need to get on the books with Jeff Lechtaler of Lechtaler Guide Services.

Jeff is a local stick who has been fishing Northern California his entire life. He learned the game working as a deckhand for his uncle, the legendary John Nelson, so he has the kind of old-school intel you just cannot find on a map. Whether you are a veteran or a total newbie, Jeff is the guy to go to. He is professional, he is a great teacher, and most importantly, he doesn't skunk.

The Striper Game is On

Right now, the focus is 100% on Striped Bass. Jeff knows the Sacramento River, the Feather River, and every pocket where these fish are running. He has the specialized skills to put you on the meat while everyone else is still trying to figure out the drift.

Looking Toward Salmon

We are all hearing the same thing: we may potentially see a proper Salmon season this year. At the minimum, it is looking like it is going to open, and you know how fast those dates are going to disappear.

Jeff has a reputation for landing King Salmon that are literally bigger than some of the kids on his boat. If you don’t believe us, just check out his Instagram or the pictures on our site. We highly recommend booking a Striper trip with him now and asking him to put you on his waitlist for Salmon. You want to be first on that list because those slots fill up super quick. When that season officially drops, you will want to be the first person he calls.

A Great Day for Everyone

What we love about Jeff is that he is just a reliable, hardworking guy who loves sharing his passion. Whether it is your very first time picking up a rod, or you want to take the kids and the whole family out for an unforgettable day, Jeff makes everyone feel at home. He is a USCG Captain and fully licensed, so you know you are in safe hands while you are out there chasing trophies.

Give Jeff a shout and get your Striper dates locked in before his calendar is full.
