Early Trout Season Opener on the Middle Fork Feather River in Plumas County

The trout season opens April 5 on the Middle Fork Feather River in Plumas County. The open stretch of river is between the Union Pacific railroad bridge, just upstream of A-23 in Sierra Valley, and the Mohawk Bridge in Blairsden.   

Other fishing opportunities are also available in the Plumas County area. Lake Davis is open year-round to fishing and the Department of Fish and Game will be planting fish in the lake during a restocking celebration scheduled May 16-17 at Lake Davis. The streams flowing into Lake Davis will not open until the Saturday prior to Memorial Day.

The trout limit is five per day and 10 in possession. A resident sport fishing license is $38.85.
