Chris Maher is a fly fishing guide based in the Truckee/Tahoe area. He grew up in the East Bay and completed his undergraduate education at Chico State. Chris is well versed in Northern California fly fishing. While in school, he fished everywhere from the lower Sacramento River, Deer Creek and the Feather River to the Yuba River, McCloud, Upper Sacramento and the Trinity River.

Chris currently guides on the Truckee and Little Truckee Rivers for most of the year, in addition to taking special guiding trips to Alaska during the summer months.
