Feather,sacramento and american river fishing report

Feb 26, 2010

"Champion" Is just about done with it's
haul out, it should be back up and running
in a week or so. Stripers should be coming
out of their winter patterns and hungry. If
you can find clean water trolling will be
good other wise bait will be best. This will
probably be a similar year to 2006 for
stripers. Sturgeon is still slow.

Salmon
Some fishing writers have already
announced "no salmon season in 2010 and
beyond", this is false. Some people just like
to dramatize the situation. Until PFMC says
for sure no one knows. The adult return in
2009 has nothing to do with the 2010
season. With the jack counts being what
they were there should be 250,000 salmon
return in 2010, that means we would get a
season. There's plenty of salmon around
despite dfg's inaccurate fish counts. Only
time will tell, but we should have better
options for salmon this year.
