Striper on the fly is heating up and there’s still plenty of shad to go around in our Nor Cal rivers.  The American, Feather, Yuba and Sac have all be producing great and the weather is gorgeous.

  Don’t hesitate to try to get on a boat, many guides are booked up or close to it.  Pack out what you pack in, fish hard and get home safe!Capt. Chuck Ragan can be...

Lower Feather

Lower Feather River Spring steelhead fishing remains fair to good. Spent a few days out swinging flies with clients in the high flow section of the river. Flows in the Low Flow are around 800cfs and around 1500cfs in the high flow. 

On the overcast cooler days, the caddis hatches were a bit slower and we were getting fish on more traditional swung...

Lower Feather Spring Steelhead - spent a few days out swinging flies on the Lower Feather for spring steelhead this week. Fishing has been good. We have been getting good numbers of small half pounders and then multiple hook up on adults each day. 

The Low Flow section of the river is still pretty high around 1000cfs but the high flow is perfect at around...

Capt. Hogan Brown reports on 4.5.18

Lower Feather River the last week was pretty decent for spring steelhead fish both on the swing and nymphing. The swing grab was best the first part of the day on bigger flies but the grabs were pretty short once the sun hit the water. Midday ounce the caddis started to come off switching to smaller soft hackle fly was best. The river is too high and unfishable...

Feather River

Feather River - The Feather River has been average as of late. There are more and more fish starting to show up in the system. Currently, there are a lot of fish in the 17-19" range. It has been challenging to find bigger fish this spring. It is just a matter of time before we run into a couple of good ones. One thing that needs to be noted is that the...

Lower Feather River 

I have been spending most of my time the last week swinging flies on the feather river for spring steelhead. Flows are normal and clarity is a bit off with the recent rains as the dirty water from the lake moves through the watershed. There are fair numbers of spring run steelhead in the river - both half pounders and a few true adults. Great...

Lower Sac

The fishing on the Sac continues to impress. The amount of bugs coming off right now is really impressive. From spring caddis, to March Browns, to PMDs, and even baetis in the mix there are all kinds of food in the drift right now to get those rainbows fat and happy. The best part is that we are getting some legitimate dry fly fishing in every day right...

Marin Unversaw reports on Jan 6, 2018:

The Feather’s water is clear with a little green tinge. For us it was overcast with some light rain. Conditions are good. Water level worked for crossing selected pieces of water.
Salmon are mostly done, with many fragrant memorials to those brave Salmon who swam under the Golden Gate Bridge, and all the way up to Oroville to party.

For me it was 101, to 37, to...

Spent a few days out on the water this last week with clients and fishing on my own…

Feather River - aka Butte county’s Capital City Fish Ditch - the Feather has had a great run of steelhead his year. Nothing huge in size but all good solid central valley size steelhead. 20-25" football size fish. The crowds of both guides and bank anglers have been there in...

The Lower Feather has been fishing pretty well as of late. The Low flow section below the dam has a pretty solid number of salmon on redds. There have been a number of adult steelhead and half pounders caught up here. As always when fishing around redds be very careful and watch where you step. Swinging egg sucking leaches and nymphing will find you fish.
