Northern California: , by Andrew Harris: half-pounders are in!: 4 stars I got to do something a little different today - guide the lower Feather River near Oroville. This is a fishery that I used to guide quite a bit, but always in the fall for steelhead chasing salmon eggs. The river also gets a spring run of half-pounders and adults. We found quite a few today. Most of our fish were 17-20" with one nice buck 21" or so. Even the 14 inchers were feisty. Feather River half-pounders look like silver bullets and fight really hard. If you're looking for a trip over here let me know and I will get you set up with a good guide. The season goes from early March through mid-May. Next 10 open days for Andrew Harris: |
