Big, bright King Salmon hitting on the Feather River: A guide to all the splashing action around Oroville
For the first time in three years, anglers have been able to fish sections of the Feather River, American River and Mokelumne River for salmon. Since the opener on July 16, the fishing has been productive but by no means hot on the Feather River. But for anglers unable to fish for salmon in all Central Valley streams since 2022, the fishing has drawn many to the riverbanks near Oroville to catch a big, bright Chinook. Recently, low counts have resulted in the continued closure of Chinook salmon fishing in the Klamath River Basin and mainstem Sacramento River by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
