River Information
Fish Species: | Rainbow Trout |
The Middle Fork Feather River, Graeagle, CA, is a pristine, undammed freestone trout fishery, predominantly supporting wild brown and rainbow trout. Optimal angling requires advanced fly-fishing techniques, including nymphing and dry fly presentations matching local hatches. While current fish activity is moderate, highest success often occurs at night and morning, aligning with solunar peaks. River flows, influenced by snowmelt and precipitation, are paramount; anglers must assess conditions (e.g., 43°F current air temp, minimal wind) for wadeability. The river experiences significant seasonal variations, with summer offering ideal conditions. Patience and diverse strategies are essential for consistent success in this challenging, yet rewarding,wild trout environment.
