Fish, friends, and fire can all be found at Lake Cachuma, and we will conquer them all. Located a smidgen northeast of Santa Barbara, the illustrious lake is surrounded by a lush forest. We will spend our days on the lake fishing, hiking, and hammocking and our nights sitting by the campfire, playing games and enjoying the Michelin star dining experience provided by your guides. “Chew my balls.” - Scott

You are not required to fish, but if you intend on doing so, we will be stopping by a sporting goods store, where you can buy a one-day license for $19.18. No fishing experience is required. Your guides will teach you everything you need to know.
