Fish Species: Rainbow Trout
Lower Burney Creek, Burney, CA, is a highly productive, spring-fed trout stream, primarily supporting rainbow trout. Its unique, constant cold water flow ensures consistent activity year-round, even during summer. Angling is predominantly fly fishing, with successful methods including nymphing with small patterns and precise dry fly presentations during prolific insect hatches. Water clarity is excellent, demanding subtle approaches and light tippets. Access is generally good, often within state park boundaries. Anglers must adhere to CDFW regulations, which may include special restrictions (e.g., catch-and-release, barbless hooks) to protect this valuable, stable fishery.
