North Fork Yuba River ~ Jamison Creek Fishing Report

Water levels are at an all-time low for the season resulting in even more fishable water. Fishing has been great using dry flies for small wild rainbows, and when using lighter rods you get to feel the tug, while seeing a bent rod. It’s been really fun! Water temps range from 56 in the morning to 64 in the...

Flows are still a tad high for this time of year, but overall the fishing is great if you love small wild rainbows that shimmer like jewels in the Northern Sierra sun, and top water dry fly action. Water temperatures remain prime running 56 degrees in the morning and 63 in the afternoon for the upper watershed. It’s so awesome to see my guests truly appreciate a...

The North Fork Yuba River is firing on all cylinders right now and conditions are perfect. I’ve been focusing my trips in the upper watershed where there are numerous cold subterranean springs entering the river pumping in 42 to 46 degree crystal clear water. Water temperatures in the main stem river are 56 in the morning rising to 63 in the afternoon, the water...

Flows are good. Would love to hear a report from someone fishing it. Try swinging leeches you might just run into a summer steelhead.

Lower Sacramento River Striper Fishing - The Lower Sac continues to crank out good numbers of keeper size stripers and a few double digit fish over the last week. We also hooked a true trophy that we lost in a big snag…kinda par for course when fishing the river. Clarity in certain areas is still an issue as a few banks are still coming down and washing mud into the...

Flows have dropped back down to just over 6k making access much easier Shad are being caught all day with the evening being the highest success rate. Pinies and other shad darts on a type 3 or 6 shooting head will do the trick.That is if you are not chasing stripers around.

Yuba River 6/16/2017

Nice to see the yuba flow down 3k. Shad and...

Flows have dropped to 4600cfs in the last 2 days. It looks like there is a window to get out and fish. Whether you want to fish shad in the lower river or get out and do so trout fishing here is a window. We don’t have reports on fish yet but anglers who know the river and have been able to catch these windows have been rewarded with nice fish.

Fishing Report  

Lower Sac striper fishing– Flows have come up again but so has water diversion, so it somewhat equals out – 16000cfs at Ord Bend – 13500cfs at Keswick. The canals are pumping a TON of water! Fishing for stripers has been hit and miss. There is a TON of migratory fish around but they were on the spawn last week so that shut the bite down and the...

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 5.4.17

Our own shop rat, Brett Wedeking, fished the North Yuba River last weekend and as you’d expect, the water is ripping. With the heat wave this week the water is on the rise full of snowmelt. Water temps max out around a chilly 42 degrees.

The fish are still there however, and Brett found a few tightlining nymphs along the edges. Most of the water is white, but...

Hello Everyone,

WOW, what a start to the 2017 fishing season. All we can say is water, water, and more water. Oh, and more water to come. Hopefully the rainy season is behind us, and only good fishing to come.

This year has been a bit challenging, especially on local water. The opener on the American was the worst in years, the Feather was brown due to the damage to...
