Feather River Salmon Fishing Spots

Feather River offers excellent salmon fishing opportunities throughout the year. The best fishing spots are located near the Gridley and Yuba City areas where salmon migrate upstream during spawning season.

The river features both bank fishing access points and boat launching facilities. Popular spots include the Afterbay Outlet, Shanghai Bend, and Star Bend. These locations provide deep pools and current seams where salmon congregate.

Fall is the prime season for king salmon, while spring brings opportunities for spring-run chinook. Anglers use various techniques including drift fishing, back-bouncing, and plug pulling to catch these prized fish.

The river management includes fish ladders and hatchery programs that support sustainable salmon populations. Local fishing guides and charter services are available for those seeking expert assistance.
