  Feather River Guided Trip with a Local Guide

  The Feather River between Oroville and Gridley has one of the best steelhead runs in California. The Fall run season is typically mid September to November as steelhead follow salmon spawning runs. The Feather River has displayed a very strong return of Fall Steelhead the past few years and it’s looking like this Fall will provide more of the same. These valley steelhead pull as hard as any fish around and can make for a very fun (and sometimes closer to home) alternative to some of the rivers further north. Using a drift boat are the  preferred means of fishing this run.

Based on this very favorable pricing you will have to bring your own lunch and assist with shuttling. He can provide rods and flies if you need them. We also recommend you bring your waders if you have them, as it may be advantageous to get out of the boat a few times to more thoroughly fish some riffle spots.  Wading is optional and not required. 

  We have the following dates reserved: Sept. 18 and 26, Oct. 12 and 24, and Nov. 7 and 12. If the date you want shows that it is filled, please sign up on the waitlist in the event someone cancels. You can sign up as a single person and we can pair you up with someone.

  Guides are happy to provide their own pre-rigged rods for anglers. Just ask! Don’t forget to buy and bring your Steelhead Report Card.

  Anglers are responsible for their own lodging and travel costs as well as tips to the guides. Lodging costs are approximately $200 per person for a shared room depending on where you choose to stay.  Guide tips are generally about $40-60 per person.  Carpooling is encouraged and is a fun way to get to know the other anglers.

  The trip includes two days of fishing, so overnight accommodations are required. Each participant will be responsible to obtain lodging, and there are a number of chain motels along Hilltop Drive in Redding to choose from – Holiday Inn Express, La Quinta, Red Lion, Quality Inn, etc., as well as those located near The Fly Shop at Churn Creek Rd. and Bonnyview Rd., including Super 8 and Hilton Garden Inn.

  It is recommended that anglers stay in Redding on Wednesday night to be ready to get on the river early Thursday. Some may choose to stay over Friday night for an easy trip home on Saturday. We will enjoy a hosted group dinner Thursday night, courtesy of Jim Roberts.   For those who wish to come up early on Sunday morning, details regarding time and location to meet will be provided as it gets closer to the trip. 

  Lunches are provided by the guides on the river.
  

  

  Gear and Tackle Recommendations:  5- to 7-weight, 9-ft length (or longer) with standard floating lines. Guides will provide all tackle from the fly line down.

  Other gear:   Waders and non-studded boots as well as rain gear or other outerwear dictated by the weather. Guides will provide flotation devices in the boat. On some previous trips, guides have encouraged getting out of the boat to fish selected holes, and, as well, sometimes waders have been optional due to good weather.  We’ll have to wait for final advice from the guides. Many anglers like to bring a dry bag in the boat for extra clothes or other equipment.

We feel that these protocols and guidelines are consistent with public health information and experts. These protocols are assured, observed, and enforced by outing leaders as well as members themselves. Extra masks, spray disinfectant and sanitizer are available from the outing leaders.

  Please note that the Tri-Valley Fly Fishers accepts no liability for inadequate protection or the transmission of Covid-19 among members or guests. Therefore, each member should review the following protocols that the Club subscribes to and make an individual decision of whether to participate in an activity or not, based upon their individual circumstances and personal safety.

  TVFF Outings protocols are as follows:

  • If you are sick with cold/flu symptoms then we ask you to please stay home
  • We believe in social distancing and require that all members keep a full fly rod distance of at least 6’ distance between parties
  • All attendees should wash and sanitize their hands frequently

  Feather River Guided Trip with a Local Guide

  Event Skill Levels:

  • Fishing: Requires basic casting and line management skills.
    
  • Stream: Beginner to advanced 
  • Wading: If you choose to wade, it is beginner to Intermediate.  Wading is not required.
    

  The Feather River between Oroville and Gridley has one of the best steelhead runs in California. The Fall run season is typically mid September to November as steelhead follow salmon spawning runs. The Feather River has displayed a very strong return of Fall Steelhead the past few years and it’s looking like this Fall will provide more of the same. These valley steelhead pull as hard as any fish around and can make for a very fun (and sometimes closer to home) alternative to some of the rivers further north. Using a drift boat are the  preferred means of fishing this run.

  We have made a discounted price arrangement with an experienced guide, Steve Acosta on the Feather River for multiple days in starting in September. The cost is $212.50 per person, and he will take you in a 2-angler drift boat on various sections of the Feather between Oroville and Gridley. These will be one day up and back trips. Based on this very favorable pricing you will have to bring your own lunch and assist with shuttling. He can provide rods and flies if you need them. We also recommend you bring your waders if you have them, as it may be advantageous to get out of the boat a few times to more thoroughly fish some riffle spots.  Wading is optional and not required. 

  We have the following dates reserved: Sept. 18 and 26, Oct. 12 and 24, and Nov. 7 and 12. If the date you want shows that it is filled, please sign up on the waitlist in the event someone cancels. You can sign up as a single person and we can pair you up with someone. 

  Please contact Denis Haire for any questions regarding these outings.

  Event Description:  Ascension Bay, Mexico 2025

  
  

      
  

  I’ve been talking to Tiziano Rizzotto who runs the lodge with his partner Pascale, both awesome anglers, about our club fishing with them next spring. He’s sent a special offer for TVFF.  If we take over the lodge from April 30 to May 7 next year (7nights & 6 days fishing).  The price for 10 anglers would be $34,100 or $3,435 per person (includes $25 to TVFF).  The lodge accommodates 10 anglers. It’s built in a “U” shape around a courtyard. The air-conditioned guest rooms are on the first floor and a large open room comprises the second floor with areas for dinning, sitting (with comfortable furniture), exercise and kitchen.

    
  

  The fish principally targeted are bone fish, permit, and small tarpon. Of course there are others, some of which we caught last month are barracuda, small shark, lady fish, snapper, snook, small grouper and others. Gear is 8 to 10 weight equipment for targeted species. 12 or 14 weight for migratory Tarpon (personally they’re just too much fun for me).

     

  The package includes:

  • 6 days guided fishing – 2 guides and anglers to a boat
  • Room, great food, drinks including coffee in the early AM, soft drinks, cocktails, wine, and beer.
  • Transportation to and from the Cancun airport.
  • Water transport the last 28 miles to Ponte Allen rather than van over a very, very very (you get the idea), rough road.
  • Daily maid service for the rooms.

  Does not include:

  • Tips for guides and staff
  • Transportation from your home to and from Cancun
  • Overnight stay in Cancun

  We need to secure the reservation with a non-refundable deposit of $12,500 ($1,250 per angler) before August 15, 2024 and the balance by February 1, 2025. Currently we have 9 people interested in this outing and filling fast.  The wait list is a great option as additional slot may open up, with the possibility of a second week.

  Because of past problems, all participants must have travel insurance covering medical and the cost of the lodge and I suggest including and luggage coverage.

  All participants must have a signed club waiver on file accompanying the down payment. 

  If you have any question don’t hesitate to contact Martin Plotkin.

  

  Cost: $3435 per person

  Cost per person includes all food, beverages (as described above) and single occupancy accommodations, not including airfare,  overnight stay in Cancun, and guide tips. Payment for this outing is broken up into a down payment and final payment.

  Initial Non-refundable Deposit:

   The cash cost is $1275 ($1250 + $25 outing club fee).  Payment by check or cash directly to the Club Treasurer. 

  If you do pay cash you will be put into "Pending Registration" until your payment is received within the two weeks. 

  Final payment will be arranged upon lodge receipt of the initial down payment.

  
  

  Fishmeister: Martin Plotkin

  Accommodations and Food: All lodging (single occupancy) and  cooked food is provided.

  Gear and Tackle Recommendations:

  To be sent out via email later to all registrants.
