The Klamath River near the Oregon border has an excellent hatch of salmonflies and golden stoneflies in the spring. Action peaks in May and June, with rainbows readily rising to the surface throughout the day. We float the river in drift boats, casting large dries towards the banks.

The Feather River between Oroville and Gridley has one of the best steelhead runs in California. Prime time is October-December, when steelhead are feeding heavily on salmon eggs. There is another run in the spring, peaking between March and May. We fish the Feather from drift boats.

The Yuba River is a tailwater river near Marysville. The Yuba has excellent dry fly fishing for wild rainbows, and seasonal fishing for steelhead in the Fall and Winter. Best times are September through May. We float from the Highway 20 bridge to a private takeout at the Daguerre Dam.

Keswick Reservoir is a small impoundment below Shasta Lake. It has great fishing for rainbows and the occasional brown. We use a powerboat on Keswick and fish with streamers, nymphs, and dries. Best times are fall, winter & spring.

Baum Lake is a small impoundment on Hat Creek. It's open year round and is a favorite winter destination for trout fishers suffering from cabin fever. There are hordes of hatchery fish plus numerous large wild rainbows and browns. There are parts of Baum Lake that can be fished from the shore, but we usually use drift boats.
