Spring means trout or … does it? The Feather offers a shot at some valley steelhead … spunky, hard fighting seafarers returning home. They're not monsters but they fight hard and made the same ocean journey as fish twice their size. Recent trips have been delivering good fishing which should improve through April and into May. Colin and Mike have been running walk and wade trips in the mountains and Mike has his Fall River boat ready to go. Luke and Kevin have been on the Lower Sac and report good fishing. Luke's always up for chasing bass on Lake Shasta and has had some solid days recently. Ben, Colin and I have all been on the Yuba which is fishing well despite the pipe burst earlier in the year. Everything is waking up and turning on. It's a good time to shake off the winter cold and hit the water.
