5-19-11

Today I guided Wayne, John, and Dennis for stripers. With the water rising on the Sacramento River, I decided to head over to the Feather River with hopes that it was stable. We launched the boat at Boyd's pump and started working our way down steam with the rubber worm. It was evident that the water had dropped a couple of feet over night so we headed further down stream in search of the fish. We started catching fish around the Bear River and continued to do so all of the way down to the Nichoulaus Bridge. There were a ton of shakers once again, however, we weeded through them and ended up catching some nice fish for the box. The biggest fish of the day was a 14 pound hen that was caught by Wayne and then quickly released after a photo. It was another good day on the water, but the amount of boats over there fishing is ridiculous. I will be returning to the Sacramento River as soon as possible, I just can't take the mad house!
