NORTH COAST RIVERS

North Coast streams and rivers are regulated by low flow closures. Always call ahead to determine the condition of the river you want to fish. If not mentioned, the river is closed or no reports. The DFG’s Low Flow Closure Hotline for north coast rivers is 707) 822-3164. For the Russian River and counties of Mendocino, Sonoma and Marin, call (707) 944-5533. South Central Coast streams number is (831) 649-2886. Many streams closed, and others change to artificial/barbless only on March 31 and others on April 25.

CHETCO RIVER—Anglers fishing the estuary are being asked to have their fin-clipped kings wanded by the ODFW, or cut off the nose or head and bring it to the Chetco Outdoor Store for the department. There are concerns about the lack of fish showing, and if conditions don’t improve the early November opener may be delayed.

ROGUE RIVER, Lower—High winds made fishing for kings tougher, and huge surf kept a lot of fish from coming into the estuary, although some kings and even some Coho were being caught by those who figured out the right trolling angles. A lot more jack salmon than normal.

RUSSIAN RIVER—Still the same scenario, with early and late anglers finding good numbers of spunky smallmouth bass on spinners and small lures. Not as much competition for quiet water now with the watersports folk off the river. Next up: steelies and hopefully salmon when the first rains blow out the river.

TRINITY/KLAMATH RIVERS

KLAMATH RIVER, Klamath Glen— Not much change from last week. Hardworking anglers are still scoring bright, freshly arrived salmon, but some days are far better than others. There are more bigger fish showing though, including a few weighing up to 40 pounds. More steelies are showing, too.

KLAMATH RIVER, Iron Gate Dam—Lots of salmon are arriving daily above I-5, and anglers are catching half a dozen, and often a lot more hard fighters. These early fish are in pretty good shape, too. Back bouncing roe has been responsible for most of the fish, but Kwikfish are accounting for a few early in the day.

TRINITY RIVER, Del Loma—Salmon fishing wasn’t red hot, but certainly worth the effort with the pot sweetened by an ever-increasing number of steelhead showing up. The best fishing has been in the Junction City to Big Bar and Del Loma. A few fish are being caught early in the morning on Kwikfish, but the most bites continued to come on roe. Fly fishers have been doing better as well swinging brindle bugs and brown hackle peacocks.

TRINITY RIVER, Willow Creek—Anglers have been hiking into the canyon around Hoopa and hooking both steelhead and salmon on roe in deep holes. Salmon and steelhead counts aren’t all that high, but they seem to be biting fish, when a bunch is intercepted—mouths of cooler feeder streams are good, too. Number 4 Mepps, Blue Fox spinners, and streamers also are good bets. Get on the water early and get off by 9 a.m.

NORTH SALTWATER

BERKELEY—Captain Jim Smith on the Happy Hooker reported fewer but bigger halibut, with 25 pounders taking the pool on both Friday and Saturday. He’s moving to Martinez in a couple weeks, and will switch to targeting striped bass and sturgeon in Suisun Bay.

BODEGA BAY— Captain Rick Powers on the New Sea Angler fished Point Reyes again, with the same limit results on rockfish, and a little flurry of lingcod on Wednesday’s trip also. Some jumbo rockfish showed up, including vermilion to 8 pounds, and coppers to 5 pounds. “Sunday’s trip was something like 80 straight trips with limits,” said Powers. His planned tuna trip was weathered out on Wednesday, but he is planning another effort.

EMERYVILLE—The New Salmon Queen ran a great tuna trip last Tuesday, finding 85 albacore to 25 pounds for nine anglers. They did burn some fuel, working as far as 93 miles from Seal Rocks at one point. The rest of the fleet had a choice of rockfish or halibut. Scores fluctuated on the flattie trips, but the bottomfishing trips found rockfish limits plus some lingcod. There was even a 14-pound eel caught on one trip.

EUREKA—Saltwater season is winding down, but there were some good options left despite the big seas through the week. Day surfsmelt like the rough seas and are still running. In the bay, sharks and rays are still going, and there were some chance hookups of sturgeon in the shallow flats of north bay. Not many people know about the sturgeon there, so keep it quiet.

FORT BRAGG—Building seas made the weekend a tough bet for divers and shore anglers. As soon as the weather settles, anglers can dive for abalone, spearfish, and fish from shore for rockfish and lingcod.

HALF MOON BAY—The action steadied out with rockfish limits all week except Tuesday on the Queen Of Hearts, and most trips included a few lings and cabezon. Calm seas helped out, with Pigeon Point the top spot, reported Sherry Ingles at Half Moon Bay Sportfishing and Tackle.

LOCH LOMOND—Captain Gordon Hough on the Morning Star reported fewer but bigger halibut, for once the “usual” season trends are coming around. He had fish to 21 pounds on his boat. Slow tides meant deep water fishing, which also helped with the average halibut size. Striper counts remain down, however he did do an outside trip on Sunday to include rockfish and lingcod to the menu.

OYSTER POINT—Captain Jack Chapman on the Lovely Linda went out on Wednesday and while the action wasn’t hot, his one customer did catch a jumbo leopard shark (and they lost a couple halibut) while drifting live bait outside the St. Francis Yacht Club.

POINT SAN PABLO—Captain Frank Miller on the Fury reported slower action on the halibut trips with less than one around, but at least a few keepers boxed. He tried San Pablo Bay (where he’s been nailing fish consistently this season) and the deep spots in main bay like Raccoon Straights, etc. “I heard of a few fish caught outside, but the halibut fishing has been slower,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO—Captain Steve Talmadge of Flash Fishing reported good action on his Marin Coast combo trip, his group from the Martinez Marina finding halibut to 25 pounds, rockfish limits, lingcod and they even released a 20-pound class salmon. The action came on live bait, mostly sardines with a few anchovies.

SHELTER COVE—Captain Trent Slate said that the private fleet ran out for tuna early in the week, and while a couple boats got skunked, one boat did get nine, but no details on how far out.

NORTH COAST LAKES

CLEAR LAKE—Hot weather this past week brought back some algae and weeds but THAT should be short lived. Key to netting bass was to move and when you found one, stay there. Anglers are targeting fish on rocks or weed beds near shore with swimbaits, plastics, crankbaits, and surface baits. Worms are best fished around the shade of docks. The docks at Indian Beach Resort in Clearlake Oaks have been producing a lot of catfish, but forget about panfish for now. A  heads up for anglers fishing tournaments: the sheriff will be checking all bass boats prior to the blast-offs of upcoming tournaments. Any boat without a current quagga mussel sticker will be cited and ordered off the lake. The total fine (including court costs) will run over $500.

LAKE BERRYESSA—Salmon came from Skiers Cove to the Narrows and trolling depths were from 60 to 80 feet for fish from 16 to 19 inches. White Hoochies worked for these fish as well as Uncle Larry’s Green Tiger with Pro-Cure’s anchovy gel. Bass are starting their upward trend and spoons continue to be productive from the surface down to 50 feet.

UPPER BLUE LAKE—Fishing pressure has been light and the recently planted trout can be trolled either from mid-lake or from the shoreline when the weather cools down.

LAKE SONOMA— Popper and Spook fish were found but bass also responded to drop-shotting the weed line in 10 feet for bass from 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. Crystal clear water has made fishing tough here but the Cherry Creek and other arms in the areas are producing for the persistent angler

NORTHEASTERN AREA

LAKE ALMANOR—Hot weather slowed the bite here but the fall bite is just around the corner. Trolling from 30 to 38 feet was still the best way to go but be prepared for short periods of surface action as the trout follow the bait up and watch for birds. The shaded side of docks or around marina log booms were good spots for bass. Throw spinnerbaits or jerk baits in the mornings and evenings. Fly anglers can throw smelt imitation streamers in white or pearl white.

BATTLE CREEK RESERVOIR—No reports at this time as few are fishing, but typically PG&E starts to draw the lake down. Fish will continue to be caught in the boat launch area of the lake or off the dam in deeper water. Power Bait, lures, and worms will continue to produce good action. Topwater action should improve in the evenings in the shallows near the boat launch area as the water temperature cools. Try PMD nymphs and cripple patterns then.

BAUM LAKE— Fishing has been great for fly fishermen for the past few days at both Baum Lake and the Cassel section of Hat Creek with lots of brookies, rainbow and brown trout. Cooler weather usually triggers the fish to feed more heavily, as there is decreased bug activity during the winter months. There are still good hatches of PMD’s, caddis, callibaetis, and trico’s on the water, with pheasant tails doing best for nymph fishermen. Kastmasters are working well, but any lure in a trout pattern should work. Nightcrawlers and salmon eggs are working for the bait fishermen.

BRITTON LAKE—The smallmouth bass bite continues to the only game in town these days, try in the morning and evening.

BURNEY CREEK— Above the falls has been quite productive with lures and crawlers. Below the falls, good results with pt and copper john nymphs, fish coming up to caddis hatch in the evenings.

CASSEL FOREBAY—No report as the season winds down and few are reporting back. The canal above the Powerhouse No. 1 can provide some excellent fishing on spinners and Power Bait for some nice rainbow and brook trout. Fly-fishing can be excellent with black or olive crystal buggers or red blood midges. Topwater action is best early in the mornings and late evenings.

EAGLE LAKE—The trout have moved into the shallows but there’s been a short opportunity for them as the days have been hot. Troll Sep’s No. 2 grubs in watermelon, amber, or brown around structured ridges and drop-offs on the west side of the lake between Pelican Point and Wildcat Point. Anchoring up in 15 to 20 feet of water and dropping threaded nightcrawlers down 8 to 10 feet deep in these same areas also worked. The dredging operation at the Spalding launch ramp gets underway this coming week.

HAT CREEK WILD TROUT AREA— While poor results were still found here, in part due to the heat, try the riffles with pt’s, birdsnest, or hare’s ear. Look for PMD’s, caddis, and callibaetis with the warmer temperatures coming back.

UPPER HAT CREEK–The days were hot and slow, but the weekend was steady with good fishing. Fish and Game continues to plant once a week but will probably discontinue in early October. October should still continue to produce some good fishing as the pressure is light and a lot of holdover fish remain. Fish plants this time of year tend to be brook trout, so use worms and lures to catch more fish. Nightcrawlers and mini nightcrawlers worked best. Work the holes and go deep for more fish. Fly-fishing on the upper creek was fair with a good stone fly hatch coming off, so try stone imitations, caddis, and stimulator patterns to catch more fish.

LEWISTON RESERVOIR—When it cools back down trout anglers will be using salmon eggs and white eggs 10 to 15 feet down while fly anglers may want to try woolly buggers or black/purple leeches for kokes.

PIT RIVER— Excellent reports from the Pit 4 and 5 reaches,and Pit 3 is fishing well, however the construction is making access difficult. Nymphing seems to be doing the best with hare’s ears, birdsnest–try a size 14 or larger.

LAKE SHASTA—Trout and salmon action held steady despite the heat. Trout and king salmon were good in the Dry Creek area and by the dam. Digger Bay, Waters Gulch, and Toupee Island were also fishing well. Troll from 50 to 100 feet down for trout but you’ll have to go down at least 150 feet for the larger king salmon running between 4 and 5 pounds.

SACRAMENTO VALLEY

AMERICAN RIVER—Flows seem to have stabilized–for the moment—around 1,700 cfs, but fishing continued to be “iffy” with a report of a steelhead here, and a striper there. The occasional steelhead was being taken on butterflied shad, pikeminnows and sardines in holes on the lower end of the river, while a few more were biting swimbaits, jerkbaits, topwater lures and crawdads in holes below riffles from Howe Avenue to Nimbus Dam. An occasional steelhead was being hooked, mostly on nymphs under indicators, drifted nightcrawlers, and spinners. But there were even a few caught on big, high floating dry flies.

FEATHER RIVER—Flows in the Feather continued to be very low, around 1,350 cfs below the Outlet, but there were some big striped bass taken around Shanghai Bend by bankies tossing Pencil Poppers, Hair Raisers and swimbaits, and jerkbaits late in the evening and at night. Steelhead fishing was lousy in the Low Flow Section once again, but stripers were showing up all the way up to Oroville.

FOLSOM LAKE—The lake was pretty quiet because most anglers were looking for cooler waters to fish, but a few bass were being taken mostly deep, around 25 feet deep along creek channels and over humps by spooning, drop-shotting, and dart-heading. A very few trollers caught a few rainbow trout working in front of the dam with Needlefish and Apexes fished 40 to 60 feet deep.

MATHER LAKE—Fish early and late around weed edges from a float tube, pontoon boat, or canoe for a few bass. Fish poppers, frogs over the weed mats, and weightless Senkos.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Sacramento—What a difference a week makes. The same folks who were singing the blues about the poor striper fishing around Sacramento, while not exactly raving about the fishing, did say there definitely was a turnaround in fortunes, with some pretty good fishing at times between Freeport and Verona. A couple of the better reports came in from the Port where trollers were scoring fish 6 to 10 pounds trolling Yo Zuri’s and Mann’s divers with a white plastic worm trailer, and Bryte Beach where a 31 pounder was caught—and released—by an angler using a pikeminnow for bait.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Knight’s Landing—Last week produced the best striper fishing of the fall season with some boats landing around 20 fish per boat—keeper sized fish, not shakers. Tisdale seemed to be the best area, and there were some larger stripers, caught, too, in the 20-pound class, on minnows, plastic worms at night, and on streamer flies.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Redding—Not much change from last week with excellent fishing for trout in the low, 6,500 cfs flow. Also, no longer have to pull their boats out at the Cypress Street Bridge, and there is no blockage requiring pulling your boat out and relaunching throughout prime trout water from Redding all way to Red Bluff. The lower reaches have also been producing the occasional steelhead in addition to great trout fishing. Dead-drift nymphs like princes, pheasant tails, and copper Johns under indicators. Spin fishermen should drift Glo-Bugs with or with a bit of roe, nightcrawlers, and crickets.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Upper—Not much change with the unrelenting heat making for a short day’s fishing early and late, and most of the activity above Sims. Keep a tight line dead drift close in into pocket water keeping the fly deep.

YUBA RIVER—Flows are quite low at 800 cfs, but trout fishing has been fair with rainbows taking stonefly nymphs, caddis pupae, and egg patterns. Small Mayflies and caddis-imitating dry flies have been enticing a few trout to look to the surface right before dark.

SIERRA LAKES/RIVERS

BLUE LAKES—Upper Blue was planted two weeks ago and fishing pressure has been low according to Woodfords Station. Deer season is open and the area around the lakes are full of hunters.

BOCA LAKE—The lake is at 44-percent capacity. This lake hasn’t been planted for two weeks. The weather was hot this last week and fishing was slow during the day. The best chance for success has been in the early morning or evening for trout at the inlet or the boat ramp. Smallies are hitting during the day in the coves and at the dam on spinners, Rapalas or crawdad color jigs.

CAPLES LAKE—The DFG planted 11,500 rainbow trout totaling 4000 pounds this past week. Trollers are doing well on a Kastmaster spoon or flasher-dodger/worm-Power Bait combos. Shore anglers are “knocking ‘em dead” on bobber/worm rigs. Shore anglers are also having good success casting Roostertails, Panther Martins and Kastmasters.

CARSON RIVER (East, West)—The West Carson is still low and clear and tough to fish. The East Fork, with much better flows, is fishing very well. Some members of an 84-person fly-fishing group reported the best fishing they’ve seen in 26 years of coming to the area. Caddis and crippled Adams dries are working on top with a black wooly bugger catching them subsurface. The rainbows are running from planters to 4-pound trophy fish. Alpine County will be making two more trophy plants by the end of October and the local businesses will sponsor one last big plant at the end of October to end out the season.

DAVIS LAKE—Afternoon trolling has been productive. Ed Dillard landed 25 fish on his last charter, a noon to 4 p.m. trip. The fish hit early on the red Rainbow Runner and the last hour of the day switched over to the copper/red Dick Nite. Ed said most of the fish were 12 to 13 inches with a couple up to 17 inches. The shore fishing is improving on inflated nightcrawlers at Mallard Cove, and Fairview with some big rainbows, 20 to 22 inches, caught this past week. Fly casters have caught some big fish up to 5 pounds on nymphs along the west side in 3 to 6 feet of water. The lake received a DFG plant of 2000 pounds of rainbows that ran from 1 1/2 to 3 pounds this past week.

DONNER LAKE—A DFG trout plant is scheduled for this week. Hot weather has driven the fish deep, but the best areas are still the public piers and the boat ramp. Some macks are active at 80 feet for trollers and jiggers. The kokanee have all turned.

FEATHER RIVER CANYON—Fly fishing is good in the evening for native rainbows upstream of the campgrounds. Caribou Powerhouse is slow for smallmouth and trout unless the powerhouse is running. Butt Valley Reservoir is great for rainbows, 2 1/2 to 4 pounds, trolling threaded nightcrawlers on two colors of leadcore line and downriggers set at 14 feet on the north end of the lake across from the boat ramp.

FRENCHMAN LAKE—The lake is still at 38-percent capacity. Boaters are doing well drifting salmon eggs near the bottom in 30 feet of water from Big Cove to Crystal Point and catching rainbows, 18 to 20 inches, running 2 to 3 pounds. Shore anglers are catching rainbows, 16 to 19 inches, with Power Bait at the dam.

GOLD LAKES BASIN—The bite at all the lakes is good according to Bassetts Station. They’re selling a lot of worms.

ICE HOUSE RESERVOIR—The lake is at 73-percent capacity. The trolling bite is good for lots of planter rainbows. Try the east end of the lake starting on top with Dick Nites, Excels and Needlefish until the sun hits the water then switch to worms or grubs fished down to 30 feet.

INDIAN CREEK RESERVOIR—The cooler nights have moved the fish up into shallower water for the shore anglers using nightcrawlers. The deep channel between the boat ramp and dam is good for those with small watercraft.

JACKSON MEADOW RESERVOIR—The best bet is trolling from the dam on up into the Fir Top area with a Kastmaster, Krocodile or a Rapala. Shore anglers are working from Pass Creek to the dam with nightcrawlers and Power Bait or a Kastmaster.

JENKINSON LAKE (Sly Park)—A few mackinaw, 2 to 3 pounds, are still being caught trolling deep at the second dam with an F 7 or F9 Rapala. Some planter rainbows are hitting Power Bait and worms upriver at the second boat ramp.

LAKE TAHOE—At North Shore, Mickey Daniels has been catching 3 to 8 fish and losing several on every trip trolling Sling Blade/minnow combos at 350 to 400 feet. The fish are running 3 to 5 1/2 pounds. On the South Shore, Mike Nielsen at Tahoe Topliners has still been limiting out on mackinaw trolling and jigging at 140 to 160 feet deep. The kokanee are all schooled up in front of Taylor Creek waiting to run upstream to spawn and are all red.

LOON LAKE—A DFG trout plant is scheduled for this week. The lake is at 61-percent capacity. Lots of planter rainbows hitting lures trolled on top until the sun comes up then the bite switches to ‘crawlers or grubs/hoochies down 10 to 20 feet.

PROSSER LAKE—Trout were planted last week and the bite is much improved especially near the boat ramp. Smallmouth bass are a good choice at the dam during the day on spinners,
Rapalas and crawdad jigs. Try up Prosser Creek in the deeper water in the channel now that the water level is down and shore anglers can reach it when casting for trout or bass.

RED LAKE—Colder nights are helping quell the algae problem. Shore anglers hiking into the south side of the lake off the dam are catching limits of mixed rainbow, brookies, and cutts to 1 1/2 pounds on worms.

SILVER LAKE—During the Kay’s Resort demolition this past week some shore anglers only managed to pick up a few fish. With the hot weather, the best action is found trolling at 25 to 30 feet with flasher/worm combos. The demolition was completed on September 24, so the boat launch should be back in operation.

STAMPEDE RESERVOIR—The lake is at 49-percent capacity. The kokanee action is over with the fish red and preparing to spawn. The mackinaw are hitting deep trolled Rapalas on the back side of the island and at the dam. Trout are hitting up in the Sagehen arm and at the inlet of the Little Truckee. Smallmouth bass are hitting at the dam if the trout aren’t cooperating.

TOPAZ LAKE—Fishing closed here on September 30 and will not reopen until January 1.

TRUCKEE RIVER—Flows are way down in the General Section so concentrate on the faster water running into the deeper pools. The Special Section has been fishing well with dries as the caddis hatch starts to develop. The crayfish pattern bite is slowing down as the crawdads hardened up after molting.

UNION VALLEY RESERVOIR—A DFG trout plant is scheduled for this week. The lake is at 68-percent capacity. The kokanee action is done for the year. Trout fishing will get a shot in the arm with the plant and fish should be hitting from the top to 25 feet on spoons, grubs, hoochies and nightcrawlers, with and without flashers or dodgers.

WEST WALKER RIVER—The River received a DFG trout plant this past week and a Mono County/North Mono Chamber Alpers plant is scheduled for September 30. Fly fishermen are having a field day here with anglers reporting 100 hits per day, with fish to 4 pounds on dries. Bait anglers are catching limits on salmon eggs and worms with fish averaging 10 to 16 inches on up to 3 3/4 pounds.

NORTHERN FOOTHILLS

AMERICAN RIVER—Hot weather has made it tough on fishermen getting down into the river. The best spot is the Middle River below French Meadows Reservoir for rainbows, but be prepared for a good hike.

BULLARDS BAR—The lake is at 64-percent capacity. The hot weather this past week slowed what little trout action there was here. Bass action has been good near the marina and on the point just past the houseboats. Anglers this past week caught fish from 3 to 6 pounds. All the bass are spitting up baby bluegill which are all over the marina.

CAMP FAR WEST—This lake is down to 20-percent capacity. Hot weather made catfishing at night productive for anglers using cut baits and chicken livers. Cats are running 2 to 3 pounds. Bass action is still being reported though no specifics were mentioned by North Shore Resort. Launching is on the old gravel ramp.

COLLINS LAKE—The lake is 40 feet from full. The hot weather this past week made the slow trout action even slower. Night fishing off the docks has been the most productive. Fishing pressure is low, but catfish to 5 1/4 pounds and bass to 3 3/4 pounds were checked in at the store.

ENGLEBRIGHT RESERVOIR—The lake is at 96-percent capacity. Bass fishing has been good for anglers throwing 3-inch rainbow trout swimbaits along the grassy banks in Keystone Cove. The largemouths are running 2 pounds and the smallies only 1 ½ pounds. Smallies are hitting white jigs up above Black’s Ravine. Small rainbows are hitting worms in the marina.

FRENCH MEADOWS RESERVOIR—The lake is at 66-percent capacity. No current reports were available from the Foresthill Ranger Station. Hot weather has slowed the fishing but a big weather change is due this week bringing much cooler temps to the mountains. Deer season is open and angling pressure is low. Try the river below the dam for nice limits of rainbows.

FULLER LAKE—A DFG trout plant is scheduled this week. Shore fishing should be good off the dam with Power Bait and worms. Trollers using flasher/worm combos should do well.

HELL HOLE RESERVOIR—The lake is at 66-percent capacity. Very little fishing pressure here with the deer season open. Lots of hunters are in the woods according to the Georgetown Ranger Station.

LAKE OROVILLE—The lake is still at 38-percent capacity. Hot weather really hurt the bite here. Some bass and catfish action can still be had for those willing to give it a try. The Feather River Salmon Festival over the past weekend corralled most of the local fishermen off the water.

LITTLE GRASS VALLEY RESERVOIR— Most facilities will be closing for the season. The north and south Wyandotte Campgrounds will be open until Oct. 15. The boat docks at Maidu and Black Rock were removed on September 15, but the Maidu Boat Ramp and Blue Water Beach will remain open. The Peninsula Tent Campground and Day Use Areas will remain open until October 15.

ROLLINS LAKE—At Long Ravine Campgrounds, the Outrigger Grill will be closed until April. The marina is also closed and the docks have been moved to deeper water. The campgrounds will still be in operation as well as boat launching. Bass, brown trout and catfish have all been caught recently. The best action has been for catfish at night on hotdog chunks and chicken livers. The DFG will resume trout plants here in 2010.

SCOTT’S FLAT LAKE—The Resort will now be operating on off-season hours and there will not be any full-time staff in the marina. For boat rentals or other marina services, stop by or call the office and a staff member will be available to open the marina store as needed. Fishing has been very slow, but the DFG will resume trout plants starting in 2010. Call 530-265-8861 for more info.

SUGAR PINE RESERVOIR—The hot weather this past week made tough fishing conditions even tougher. With no trout plants this year, the only success has come for those trying for the bass and bluegill.

STUMPY MEADOWS RESERVOIR—The water level has dropped a lot recently and launching conditions are tough for anything larger than aluminum boats. Fishing pressure has been non-existent but the deer season is open and there are a lot of hunters in the area.

THERMOLITO AFTERBAY—Hot weather made for slow fishing here but a 4 ½-pound steelhead came in this past week from the Wilbur Rd. access along with a few bass. Most anglers are fishing the Feather River for steelies and stripers.
