This a a really wonderful diverse river that is not fished much in many areas. Only time it gets crowded is during the fall salmon season in September and the steelhead season in October.

River Information

The lower Feather River flows out of Lake Oroville and run ~50 miles down to it's confluence with the mighty Sacramento River at Verona.

This stretch of river is a "sleeper" year round fishery with it only being crowded during the big King Salmon run (Aug/Sept) and the big Steelhead run (Oct/Nov).

This is also a great American Shad (April/July), Striper (February/March) and Smallmouth Bass (summer) fishery.

It is kind of a tail water trout fishery below the Oroville Dam too.

The Lower Feather River is one of the most diverse rivers we have in Nor Cal and does deserve to be heavily explored by all. There  are miles of this river that are almost completely overlooked. This great river has the largest runs of Steelhead and King Salmon in the Valley.
