Catfish
Targeting catfish around Feather Falls means heading to the waters of Lake Oroville and the Feather River. The lake holds good numbers of channel and bullhead catfish, while the river offers opportunities for larger flatheads, especially in the deeper holes and around submerged structure. Summer nights are ideal for catfish, as they become more active in the warmer water. Stink baits and cut bait are always reliable, but many locals swear by live bluegill for attracting the bigger flatheads. Be aware of strong currents in the river, especially after rainfall. Access to the river can be found at various points along Highway 70, but be mindful of private property. Check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific gear restrictions and size limits.
