- Fish the Feather River, a tributary of the Sacramento River in northern CA with guide, Raith Heryford along with Francis Hopping and Jodi Way. Any cast could produce and steelhead or striped bass but most likely the hatchery steelhead will be on the small side. A special segment with Robert Weese explains why the Sacramento and Feather River's steelhead tend to be a little small. Pro Cure Roe for the steelhead and A-Rigs & live bait for the Stripers.

Always look forward to your videos, the best on TH-cam!
I appreciate that!
I’d like to see how they rigged the pike minnow ! Very interested in using this this year !
Nice video!
Thanks!
Trophy brown steelhead right there.
What’s the purpose of keeping the fish alive on the stringer? I was always taught to bonk/bleed right away if you are keeping it. Seems to me it would just stress the fish out and potentially burn off some of the fat by keeping it alive longer, especially if you are going to end up killing it anyways
To keep the fish as fresh as possible if you don't have any ice on hand while fishing. If you still going to fish for more hours and no ice then you can't de-bone and bleed it because that's it just going to spoil the meat.
A stringer wasn't used in this episode, a live well was used. Stringers can be a problem especially in warm water. If you don't have a live well it's best to bleed right away and put the fish on ice.
What rod specs for this aplication
Here are some links to the types of rods that would work well for steelhead and stripers

I'm sure any UL trout rod will work for the steelhead down there since theres not much size to them. Striper gear can very a bit but an 8'6" fast action MH rated for 15-25# line would be a good place to start. Size up or down to match your lure/bait, just make sure the rod has a good backbone.
BS the steelhead on the Sacramento and feather and Mokulumne are all the Central Valley strain of steelhead there naturally smaller strain of trout.
The point is the low number of 3 or 4 year old fish returning.
