I fished the Lower Feather River on Tuesday. We fished from downtown Oroville to the Thermalito Outlet. It fished well, we hooked 7 Steelhead between downtown and Robinson’s shelf. Squirmy worms (#12 pink, red, fire orange) and 2-bit hookers (#12/14 black or brown) worked well for us. We had 1 greedy fish clobber an Alevin (#12), 3 times in a row during one drift, to finally button him up on the last take. All techniques were working on Tuesday, plus we had a good mayfly hatch. Indicator nymphing produced the best, with tightline nymphing producing also. We even had a chance to swing, hooking up with one nice steelhead that came unbuttoned on the jump! The Feather river is going to improve as spring sets in, so don’t miss out.
