Yuba Winter Report:

We are in the midst of another very good water year. The snow reports in the Sierras are reaching 150% mark. Looks like we will have plenty of water for the year to come. So what is happening right now? We are getting opportunities to fish in between the storms. Mother Nature is being kind enough to allow us a breath of fishing until the next set....

Fishing is not nearly as good on the Lower Yuba River after the last series of big storms rolled on through, but fish are still being caught though. Flows are running at 1,228 cubes as recorded at the Parks Bar-Bridge gauge. Deer creek has not fallen all the way down and I assume it’s because of the releases
from Scott’s Flat reservoir, currently the creek is at 106...

Lower Yuba River 

I have been guiding the Lower Yuba recently by far more then any other place. With new private access and good conditions, it is has been a good option for me. I use to split a lot of my time in the winter between fishing the Lower Sac for trout and the Lower Yuba, but the reality is I have come to favor the diversity and options on the Lower Yuba...

Lower Yuba River Update

The past week has seen some gnarly weather here in Northern California. Big wind, heavy rain, and as of Monday morning low elevations snowfall like here in Nevada City. Before our last round of storms, the Lower Yuba River was fishing well with consistent mayfly hatches from noon until 3pm, and the start of seeing Skwala stoneflies drifting...

Yuba River

This morning the Lower Yuba is flowing at just over 2,300cfs but it was double this over this past weekend.  Our hope is that the rain will push some more healthy fish up the system to join what has been some of the nicer pods of fish we’ve seen over the past few years. 

Before this past weekend we’ve had some phenomenal dry fly fishing. Small EC...

Happy New Year! After a couple of rough months, I’m back in the saddle doing what I love, instructing anglers on the finer points of fly fishing and sharing my passion. What a turn of events, but thanks to the Lower Yuba River, sunshine, and good company I’m super stoked right now and in a better place mentally. 

The river has been fishing pretty decent depending on...

I think anglers have been sleeping under the rocks lately because we have had the river to ourselves. Winter is here, and it is starting out with a bang. I’ve been rather pleased with the fishing on the Yuba the last few weeks. The fish are healthy as can be and the numbers of fish is back to normal. 

The size fish is still a bit smaller we had pre-2017 flood....

Jon Baiocchi reports on 11.16.18

Poor air quality conditions exist on the Lower Yuba River but fishing still remains decent for those that put in the work. Flows are stable at 993 cubes, just a tad up from my last report. Water is clear but not for long. 

Finally, a storm system will impact the area beginning on Wednesday, it’s been 6 months since we’ve seen the skies open up. The foothills are...

Chuck Ragan reports on 11.1.18

The Yuba River has been in great shape and the recent pulse flows proved to have been very beneficial at pushing some more salmon and steelhead up the river. Typically this time of year, nymphing egg patterns with small mayfly droppers can be the hot ticket but these last few weeks the nearly constant dry fly action has been hard to pass up and have been the most...

Capt. Chuck Ragan reports on 10.25.18

It’s a great time of year to be on the water. Steelhead fishing in the Feather and Yuba River has been productive. Dry fly fishing in the Yuba as well has been giving a good amount of shots just as swinging steamers in deeper runs and foothill fall bass is starting to get exciting. 

If trout, bass or steelhead aren’t what you’re looking for, there are fewer...
