A couple fly fishing pointers here, a few go-to patterns there, and before you know it, a helpful shop could have you fishing like the resident pro.

Kern River Troutfitters
Few are as passionate and knowledgeable about fly fishing in the Sierra Nevada as Kern River Troutfitters owner Guy Jeans, who is based in Kernville, Calif., right in the heart of the Kern River system.
Jeans' first-hand experience can put you on fish after fish 365 days a year.
He even guides horseback trips on the majestic South Fork Kern River, by far his favorite stretch of water and home to California's state fish, the magnificent golden trout.
