Rondy: Feather River Steelhead
Dates: May 2, 2025
Leader: Ryan Stahl ryan.w.stahl@gmail.com
Number of anglers (including leader): 6
Description: Feather River steelhead didn’t get the memo and are still there in May. (The group leader went two for three on adult fish on May 15th last year. It was sunny and ninety-three-degrees.) Come spend a day floating in the Central Valley for these winter fish. We’ll mostly fish bobbers, but the guides can accommodate some folks swinging files as well depending on interest.
Anglers of all levels are invited to come. We’ll be using Confluence Outfitters as the guides, and they’ll provide a lunch and all terminal tackle.
This is a day trip and most people are likely to drive up and back on the day of the Rondy (roughly a 2.5-3 hour trip one way to/from the Bay Area). Carpooling can be an option. We’ll meet at the boat ramp at Riverbend Park in Oroville for a full-day float.

Suggested Gear: 6-8 weight bobber rods. Plenty of water and snacks. Bring your own flies if you’d like to fish them. If you want to swing flies, a 4-6 weight Spey rod would be appropriate. Depending on temperatures, wet wading may be an option if we get in the water.
Note: If you would like to swing flies, let me know and I can work on logistics.
Cost: The fee for this Rondy is $350
Other expenses: will be guide gratuities, transportation
