Chris has extensive experience in the Eastern Sierra
as a fly fisherman and has been making life difficult for the trout on
Crowley Lake and the Eastern Sierra for many years. He is currently in
the entertainment profession and has a super friendly, very upbeat
personality. He spends most of his free time guiding or fishing in
the Sierra and has plans to move here full time in the future. Chris has developed a reputation of breaking from the pack
and finding his own water. He is an excellent teacher and has a 21’
Champion flats style bay boat to get you on the drag burning fish of Crowley Lake.
Chris has been guiding several seasons and has established a
significant repeat client base despite the fact he guides only part time.
Chris Basso grew
up in Burbank, CA and began fishing Crowley Lake with his father, and two
Uncles in 1973. Opening day at Crowley Lake was a family tradition for
many years. Chris has a deep admiration for Crowley Lake, Fly Fishing and
the Eastern Sierras. Chris enjoys teaching others the beauty of catch and
release, still-water fly fishing and looks forward to being on the water
with you soon.
