Lower Sacramento Striper fishinghas been good if you can really pick your day and time. With the weather swings of the last week, I wouldn’t say I would take anyone’s money to go out as the weather changes really affect the fishing but if you can pick your day and hit right fishing can be...

Hogan Brown Reports on 10.13.2016

Fishing has been picking up with a bit warmer water temps (59-61) everything could change starting thursday as the weather is going to change with a storm moving in to the North State. I am sure ounce the storm moves through and the weather stabilizes again fishing should pick back up. Best fishing has been during the later part of the day ounce water temps warm...

Lower Yuba River -I spent a few days floating the Lower Yuba River the last week. Fishing has been fair I would say. I am sure the there is the opportunity for really good fishing on the Lower Yuba River if you are in the right place at the right time…that could be said about the Yuba at any time though really. The river is low, around 750cfs, this creates a tough...

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.

Jon Baiocchi / Baiocchi’s Troutfitters Reports on 9.8.2016

The North Fork Yuba River continues to fish well from the top of the watershed, down to the lower reaches below Downieville. Water temps have dropped a few degrees with the colder overnight low air temperatures. Fishing pressure is extremely light, and you’ll be able to find complete solitude now, especially mid-week. Water levels are at...

Jordan Romney Reports on 9.8.2016

Errr… So mid August the Yuba was firing for me. I was excited about the number of fish we found and size. It was a relief to find the fish fat and healthy again. But then something changed out there and the fishing got tough. Not sure what happened or what changed but they got moody.

We missed what looks like an epic stonefly hatch out there this year. The banks are...

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...

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 8.18.2016

Conditions remain the same on the North Fork Yuba River, great fishing, and exceptional views. Water temperatures are 57 in the morning rising to 63 degrees in the early afternoon for the upper watershed. The best times to ply the water are 8am to 1pm, then again in the evening chasing the last couple of hours of light. Fishing pressure has been light, but I’m...

Jon Baiocchi reports on 8.11.2016

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...
