Lower Yuba Fly Fishing Report

Capt. Ben Thompson Reports on Janaury 20th, 2025

 

Lower Yuba River 

I did multiple Yuba trips this past week and fishing was good-we have been consistently raising some fish on skwala dries. Overall, this winter has been pretty sweet so far in the way of dry fly fishing. We have been seeing adult skwalas, PMDs and alametus brown duns. The daily window for the skwala hatch isn't big right now but with more good weather on the horizon, more should start to hatch and even more fish should key in on them.

Nymphing lately, we have been having the most success on Birds Rests, rubberlegs, eggs and attractors. There have been some nice BWO hatches on overcast days lately. Weather report looks good 'til close to the end of the month and hopefully the hatch continues well throughout February. I have dates available for anyone who would like to get out there for a float and try their hand on the infamous skwala hatch.
