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.
