Corning and the surrounding area is a recreational Mecca. The area represents
country living at its finest, with beautiful sunrises, breathtaking sunsets,
spectacular mountain views and easy access waterways. The area offers something
for everyone Fishing: The opportunity to catch sportfish is year-round; however, the best angling experiences are in the spring and fall. The spring season begins the last day of April with the opening of upland trout season in the streams throughout Tehama County. The best time for shad in the Sacramento River is May and June. The fall salmon run is the largest from October through November. Also available through the year are small mouth bass, black bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish and sturgeon. Hunting: The hunting season traditionally begins with the 30-day dove season on or about September first each year. Deer season begins about the third week in September, with the Eastern Tehama County split into an early and late season (2 weeks each); and Western Tehama County season overlapping 4-5 weeks. The quail season is generally 4 months from August through January, while duck and geese season generally is from mid-October through mid-January. The pheasant season takes place from the second week of November through the first week of December. Boar hunting is available in Tehama wildlife areas by permit only (contact the California Department of Fish and Game) and in private reserves and hunting clubs. The spring and fall wild turkey season takes place 30 days each from the end of March through the end of April and during the month of November.
