You're a pretty short drive from the best flyfishing (for trout) in
California, which is sort of centered around the Redding/Burney area.
There's the McCloud, the Upper and Lower Sac, Hat Creek, Pitt River, Fall
River, and no doubt many other waters I've never fished.



I've lived in Paradise/Chico/Orland/Gridley for short periods

You don't need to go as far as Burney to find good fly fishing for trout (
although it's worth the drive,too ) There are many small tribs of the
Feather just up the hill from you that will surprise you if you go to the
work to check 'em out. One of the largest browns I've ever caught came
from Big Rattlesnake Creek ( not called that on the map g )


Seriously, check a topo ... explore ... you will be rewarded

dirt road )
