Over the past few weeks, the fish in Nor Cal has really turned on. The salmon are showing up in good numbers, some are starting to spawn and you know what that means, “EGG BITE TIME”. With cooler temps to come, the fishing will only get better, hard to believe as the fishing is pretty darn good right now.

Report: This is where I have spent a few trips on as of recent. Prior to me leaving for Alaska, the Yuba was on fire, and its still fishing pretty good. While the dry fly fishing has become a bit more inconstant, it will still produce a few fish a day, the nymphing game has been...

North Fork Yuba River

summer is coming to an end, days are noticeably shorter, mornings are colder, and the sun is arcing lower in the horizon each day. The North Fork Yuba River is still fishing well. You’ll have better success if you seek out sections that have not been fished; it’s time to hike into remote sections of the unknown. Water temperatures are stable at...

I just completed a 5 day run up on the North Fork Yuba River and my guests and I had such an awesome time as the fishing has been great. Water temperatures are still cool ranging from 55 to 57 degrees in the morning, and topping out at 62 to 64 degrees in the late afternoon in the upper most part of the watershed. Location is everything, and locating where the deep...

Awesome striper fishing on the Yuba this week!
We are getting almost as many stripers in a day, as we did shad during the height of the shad run. No huge fish, but what a blast! Flows are low, and super clear. Many times we can see stripers chase and take the fly!

Before I left the weather was all over the place…rain, wind, cold, and very little warm weather. I was actually in my Simms Pro Dry suit for about 3-4 days which I literally had to dig out of my closet being June! The up and down weather really affects the stripers from my experience and the barometric shifts and cooler water temps slows them down…that said there...

Wow, where has this year gone, April was EPIC, May was here and gone with some more great fishing, now we are in June and the fishing is really good too. I know I say this a lot, but you should really be out on the water and enjoying some great fishing.

Yuba Shad fishing is on fire right now! On the warmer days we are into unbelievable numbers of fish. I’m doing drift boat trips from Daguerre Dam, down about 7 miles to our property near Marysville. Flows are on the high side at 2200 CFS with the water temps optimum. If they stay there I predict it will prolong the shad season. I have few openings left for the...

The Truckee River is fishing pretty well right now, and the flows are dropping into shape. The Glenshire stretch is at 220 cubes, and the upper canyon is running at 625 cfs, a tad higher down by Floriston. With higher flows, fish the side water first before venturing out. All of the fish last week were in deeper slower water next to the main flow/seam. Flesh Juan...

So, the weather is all over the place…imagine that it is spring in Nor-Cal. Brings me back to days when we actually had a spring. 80 degrees and gorgeous to 55 cold and rainy in the span of 48 hours. Makes for interesting fishing this really optimistic attitude for May through September to be honest. Last year about this time weather was gorgeous, and had been for a...
