Steelhead fishing

[Fly Right]

If you rent a car to drive to the Feather, I would suggest taking the "full coverage" option. Just sayin'.

Good call....I agree
I will say however that I fished the Palm Ave area and was able to park close enough to where I was fishing that I was able to have the car in full view the whole time. 2WD would be sufficient to get to most of the areas where I was. Leaving the car unattended in other areas while fishing the Feather can be problematic.
If I had the time and financial resources and was traveling from So Cal I would head farther north to say the Rogue myself. I offered up the Feather for the opportunity to catch some steelies as a lesser travel time, lower budget option for our friend.
Either way I hope he gets on some good water and sticks a few fish for his Thanksgiving holiday

In the last month I have had some good reports from the Trinity and Klamath but I guess the water is high for a while.

The trinity had a decent spike and drop. Should have put some fish on the move.

Well I made the drive to the Trinity , I was nice drive , Fished for two and half days. First morning on th e5th cast had a huge pull no hook up. Thought maybe I am here a the right time. Not another grab that day . Fished until sunset . Second day went back to the run that I got the grab at caught a half pounder well maybe you would call it a quarter pounder nothing else that day fished until dark Drove back last night traffic was crazy . would do it again in a heart beat Thank you all for your help . Need to go back quick maybe new years holiday Hows the fishing then

Another suggestion would be to hire Steelhead Spey guide Jason Hartwick to guide and teach you for one day up there soon.
