Feather River
 
Anybody have any recent experience fishing the middle
fork of the Feather River in the general vicinity of
Quincy, CA? My last time there was maybe 50 yrs.
ago.

Thanks,

Buff

May check to see if it open for fishing. Most of the Sierra streams are
closed part of the year. And the upper part of the Feather may be included.
Lower below Oroville is open all year for different species.

Thanks. I was hoping to make it out there sometime during the summer
months and try some dry flys, or
whatever works. Back when I was a kid my Grandad
taught me to use his bamboo fly rod and drift fish with
salmon eggs and helgramites and gave me his wicker
creel to bring home dinner packed in wet grass.
Would love to re-live those times.

Thanks for the walk back to memory lane... Reminds me of my early childhood
on Marble Creek off the St. Joe. River. My father and Uncle would drop my
cousin and I off several miles up Marble Creek, it would take us all day to
fish and walk our way out. We generally had a couple creels full of fish for
dinner. Dad always said, "keep the grass wet in the creel"!
