Having fished many parts of Northern California in the past few (40 or so...) years it surprises me to realize I have never fished the Middle Fork of the Feather. Not one little part....a few tributaries a few years back when backpacking above it. Guess I've concentrated my fishing on other places and returned to many I have grown to love, such as the areas of the NF Yuba, NF Feather (above the lake and the environs therein), PITHATFALL, my own coastal areas for those elusive anadromous creatures, high lakes of the Sierra, Carsons and many others.
I am ready to explore this area in my home state now and want the guidance and wisdom of this collective bunch.
I've read Ralph Wood (in Seth Norman's book) and have looked at maps and read old articles from CFF so I know certain things already: The access to the lower part is tough....there can be big rewards for the hikes....The upper section has easier access and still some good fish. Being that I almost never fish within 1/2 mile of any road if I can help it the idea of walking 1 to 4 miles does not give me any pause, so getting away from the road is not a problem (The heck with what the caridologist says...)
So? Throw that accumulated wisdom my way and all I can promise in return is a report (good or bad) and info on the Mendocino Coast rivers come winter.
Thanks,
Robert
