5-11-11 (PM)

This afternoon Jake, Kent, and I headed over to the Feather River to see what we could find. We launched at Boyd's Pump and headed down stream. We started drifting minnows just below Tayler's Pond and caught a fish here and a fish there all of the way down to the mouth of the Bear River. However, from the Bear River down to the Nicholuas Bridge the action heated up and we caught another 15-20 fish on both minnows and trolling Yo-Zuri deep divers. We would drift from the Bear down to the bridge and then troll our way back up. The fish were scattered all over and not schooled up but we did manage a few double hook ups on the minnows. As it neared dusk we switched over to the rubber worm and started working the banks. We found a little wad of fish just below the Bear River and caught another 15 fish on the worm. Kent hooked into a nice fish the first pass and ended up landing the biggest fish of the day, a 15 pound hen that was released. We had a great day on both rivers and the story will be printed in the July issue of the Sportsman's News paper that is available at the Sportsman's Warehouse stores.
