Jon Baiocchi / Baiocchi’s Troutfitters Reports

It’s been really cold in the foothills and on the Lower Yuba River the last week with temperatures hovering in the high twenties in the morning. We even had a dusting of snow this morning. The good news is the fishing is steadier than the past 3 weeks. Nymphing is getting the job done right now and transition zones from riffles to the edge of deeper...

Been on the Lower Yuba River Lately…Fishing has been very inconsistent. I thought with the last 2 big pushes of water out of deer creek a little color would be added to the water and fish would move around…maybe getting on a more consistent grab. Not so much…fishing is still pretty hit and miss. Fish don’t seem to be to picky they just seem to be either eating or...

Current conditions on the Lower Yuba River remains fair to good depending on the day and the location. Resident rainbows seem to be podded up below redds, and transition zones of riffles leading into drop offs. Fishing pressure is light, with the most activity above the Parks Bar bridge. The blue wing olive hatch has been coming off later in the day – If it...

Reports right now…Still spending most of my time on the Lower Sacramento River down between Red Bluff and Corning chasing trout and steelhead. With Low water in most of the tributaries most of the steelhead are staying in the main river or waiting at the creek mouths to move up. We have been hooking about a...

The egg bite on the Feather is in full swing. We’re also getting fish on BWO’s, and attractor patterns, such as Red Copper Johns. Flows in the Low Flow are running at 800 cfs. The release from the afterbay outlet is 400 cfs. So the High Flow is flowing at 1200 cfs.

The egg bite on the Yuba is hit and miss. We are getting a decent amount of fish on eggs, but the...

Richard Loft Reports on 11.12.2015:

I really like the Yuba at these flows. Its a long drive but worth it. My local option is Putah Creek and the flows are back down to 66cfs and just too low; as well as the trout spawnning season has begun so it’s not the best time to fish Putah. So here is my “Yuba River Report”: Me and a friend fished Hammond Grove from 11am to 2pm then drove around the back side...

Feather River

As always this is where I am spending most of my time. The fishing is a bit more consistent than a few weeks ago with the recent rains, but the fishing pressure is still there. The steelhead should keep pouring in, well should I say trickle in over the next few weeks, which will set up for some great winter fishing. We have been seeing bigger fish...

Since I’m unable to launch my boat at Lake Davis, trip numbers have been down. Like any creature of the wild I adjust, and I have been putting in many trips on the Lower Yuba River. Flows have been hovering around 680 cubes which are ideal for the walk and wade angler. Angling pressure is very low, in fact last Saturday my guest and I were...

Lower Sacramento River Stripers

I spent that last week for and guiding for stripers on the Lower Sac outside of chico. Fall fishing for stripers can be really good or really tough depending on the weather. Unstable weather really shuts the fishing down but if the weather is stable for a few days the fish can really get on the feed. This saturday we hooked a bunch of...

Yuba Report Last week I put in one really long full day on the Yuba. We tried putting our flies in every crevice we could. Fishing was slow for the most part and that is was kind of what I expected. The salmon just really were not there and the hatches were minimal. With one angler in the boat we hooked 10 fish only landing 1. I think if we had landed a higher...
