Dave Jacobs/Hank Mautz (Professional Guide Service) (800-355-3113) or (530-365-8140): Spring salmon fishing is starting to improve from Oroville to Gridley for chrome bright salmon to 35 pounds. Best bets have been backbounced K-15 Kwikfish with a sardine wrap. Large No. 6 Blue Fox #6 spinners have also produced springers to 35 pounds for boat and bank anglers. Average salmon have been 10-18 pounds with many large fish in the high 20-30 pound range. Feather River daily limits for salmon are one per person.
