Readers, please take one minute and log onto
water4fish.org
and send an email to your state and federal representatives.
. It only
takes one minute of your time to help change
the southerly course of our fisheries.
The State and Federal bureaucracies are moving ahead with
California water plans that do not consider the needs of
fish. Unless we speak up now, our fisheries will perish as part
of the plan. There are 2.4 million sport
fishermen in California. If we join together
we can bring about political change. 18,000 fishermen have
already signed the petition and sent letters but we need
50,000 just to be heard at the state level.
Please log on and
review their plan at

On
Thursday 4-24
Elkhorn Outdoors, formerly Elkhorn Bait and Tackle, reported good striper
fishing up the Feather River in response to the increased flows bumped up to
2500 cfs. from the previous 900 cfs. There has been good action at the mouth
near Verona on the anchor with ghost shrimp and blood or pile worms. Lure
tossers are chucking RatLTraps or Bomber Long A's. American shad have moved into
the river system, but with the cold water, they aren't biting anything yet. The
water will need to get in the high 60's before the shad start hitting. Sturgeon
fishing has slowed down, as well as stripers in the downtown Sacramento area.
