Lower Yuba Fly Fishing Report

Lower Yuba River:
The egg bite peaked a few weeks back, but there are currently still plenty of fish eating eggs. Salmon are still on redds in certain areas and a lot of the trout are concentrated around them. Indicator fishing with eggs and an assortment of caddis/mayflies is still very productive. What also has been awesome is, for the last month, including after the big storm, we have been able to raise fish on dry flies consistently each day. Mid-morning to midday and sometimes into the afternoon, we have caught fish on dry flies, including size 16-18 PMD's, Mercer's Missing Link Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, and small Parachute Adams. It is great to see the fish looking up to eat and I hope it continues throughout winter. We hope for a good skwala season starting in February and reasonable flows throughout spring.
