Lower Sac Striper fishing…fishing remains good. Weather has cooled down (relative for chico, ca in august) during the day but most importantly the evening temperatures have cooled down a lot. This affects the time I start fishing and when the fish are most active really more then anything. We have moved a way from the full moon and fish seem to be feeding more...

We have been hearing some descent fishing reports from the Lower Yuba. Our buddy Tony Bellaver was up there the other day to test out his new quad spey rod he is working on and landed this fish:

This guy ate a classic swing fly, but we have been hearing fish have been eating PMD’s, BWO, and Caddis and the occasional hopper. 

Stay until dark if you can as this time of year the morning and...

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...

The North Fork Yuba River has been fishing extremely well, so good in fact you could say it’s on fire. Water temperatures in the upper watershed are running 55 to 61 degrees. Lower down near Downieville the water temps are at 59 to 66 degrees. I just completed eight trips back to back and I’m very in tune with the current conditions. Water levels have dropped a tad...

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!

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.

Here is your Local June Fishing Report:

Man when things started to look dim, the Feather comes back...

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...

It’s still high but there is fish around and success seems to be if you find the fish on a given day. I have heard some good reports and had a few good days but have also struggled to find fish at times…Not sure what to think. Bug life is good, fish I have caught seem healthy…Only think I can think of is it is tough to cover all the possible holding water at the...

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...
