Yuba City sits in the heart of California's striped bass country, with the Sacramento River being the main draw. These migratory fish make their way upriver to spawn, providing excellent fishing opportunities, especially during the spring run. Trolling or casting near the confluence of the Feather and Sacramento Rivers can be highly effective. Live bait, such as minnows or shad, is a proven method, but artificial lures like swimbaits and topwater plugs can also entice strikes. Access is readily available from several boat ramps along the river, including the one at Riverfront Park. Remember that striped bass regulations can change, so check the current CDFW guidelines before heading out. Fish in this area are known for their size, with many anglers landing fish over 20 pounds.
