Dave Jacobs (Professional Guide Service) (800-355-3113): Salmon fishing has slowed a bit despite better flows of 5,500 CFS near Gridley. New salmon have made their way upstream above Gridley improving fishing downstream below the outlet. Best fishing has been from Oroville to Gridley. Angler's casting large No. 6 Blue Fox spinners from the bank around the outlet have caught a few salmon to 30 pounds. Most fish have averaged 12-25 pounds. Back bouncing small K-14 to K-16 Kwikfish in various color combos with a sardine wrap has been best bet for king salmon to 30 pounds. Daily limits for salmon are three salmon per person.
