Lower Yuba River Fly Fishing Report

I did Lower Yuba trout trips the last two days and it is fishing well. It is sitting at 3300 cfs and is gin clear. This is a great flow to float it at, I floated it as high as 6500 cfs early this spring. Fishing has been a bit mediocre some mornings, but the afternoons have been amazing. There have been some sporadic risers and a few opportunities to throw dries, but nothing super consistent yet. As far as bug life, I have been seeing both olive and tan caddis most consistently as well as some little yellow sallies, March browns and PMD's. I have been catching fish primarily on Rubberlegs, Fox's Pupa, Birds Nests, March browns, UV sallies and small jigged PMD's. Over the coming weeks I anticipate the hopper fishing to begin and we will be throwing hoppers out there all summer!
