FEATHER RIVER

Readers, please take one minute and log onto water4fish.org and send an email to your state and federal representatives. Our goal here at USAFishing is to help water4fish to receive 10,000 additional letters of support. 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 www.water4fish.org

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.
