On the American River steelhead to 8 pounds scattered from Paradise Beach to Upper Sunrise, but very few salmon. The Feather River is a bonanza, especially at the Thermolito Afterbay Outlet Hole, where kings are stacked. Some say the bite is so good the guides are making 3 trips a day. Salmon are also found in good numbers at the rock wall near Gridley. Further up the Sacramento River, the famous Barge Hole, south of Battle Creek and the old mouth are choked full of salmon that arrived last week. The best action is coming from roe and jigs and the salmon are big running from 14 to 40 pounds as a rule. 2 fish limits are not uncommon.
TAKE TIME TO GO OUT AND ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS. STAY SAFE TO FISH ANOTHER DAY. BE SURE TO CHECK WEATHER CONDITIONS BEFORE HEADING OUT INTO THE BIG WATERS. UNTIL NEXT TIDE.
