Central
Valley Rivers:
On Wednesday 11-11
Bob Bradbury of
Johnson's Outdoors in
Yuba City said things
have been pretty slow in
the area with the
exception of some decent
steelhead up in the
Sacramento River past
Butte City. Scott Feist
of Feisty Guide Service
has been catching and
releasing steelhead in
the area. Striper
fishing has been slow
with the exception of an
11-pounder landed at
Shanghai Bend on a top
water lure.
Sport fishing for
late-fall run salmon on
the Sacramento River
between Highway 113 at
Knight's Landing to the
Lower Sycamore Boat Ramp
in Red Bluff opens
November 16th. The
limit is one fish per
day. Back bounced roe
and kwikfish will
account for most of the
action. Anglers may
only fish this section
of the Sac and all other
rivers remain closed to
salmon fishing. There
are some opportunities
for steelies on the
Feather and lower
American rivers and
fishing for metalheads
will only improve during
the coming winter
months.
Waterfowl Limits
Liberalized
It's time to start
looking ahead to the
Central Valley waterfowl
season. Being an avid
"quack addict" I can't
wait for the duck season
to begin! The 2009 /10
waterfowl regs have just
being released and
California hunters will
see an increase in bag
limits for pintails to
two birds per day (about
time), canvasbacks are
back on the menu and
even goose limits could
be higher.
One of the best if not
"THE BEST" properties in
the Central Valley is
the Richmond Hunting
Club. The "RHC" is a not
for profit member owned
cooperative with over
18,000 acres of leased
and owned land in the
Colusa, Delevan and Sac
triangle angle. I have
been a member since 1997
and have enjoyed some of
my best waterfowl and
upland game hunting on
the RHC properties
during this time.
Family memberships are
just $500. per year and
all members have access
to not only all 18K
areas but four
clubhouses that have
bunkhouses, showers and
RV parking with full
hookups. Water blinds
(not open to general
members) are just $1700
making the RHC not only
one of the best but the
most affordable clubs in
the Valley. They have
been around for over 4
decades and being a not
for profit club is the
reason they can offer
their members such
affordable prices.
If you are interested in
a tour of the club,
available water blinds
other properties call 707
451-1690. Be sure to
mention USAFishing to
save $50 on your first
year of membership.
