Jon Baiocchi Reports on 11.30.17

The Lower Yuba River has been fishing well since the flows dropped from 7,078 on the 17^th to 1,250 on the 19^th. As I reported in my last post the Lower Yuba River came down incredibly fast and cleared up quite nicely. It is important to note that I’m writing this on the morning of the 28^thbecause conditions change so quickly. I want the fly fishing public to receive...

The Lower Yuba River never ceases to amaze me, when the rains started on the 11/14. I had no idea the river would blow out and reach 7,000 cubes. Even more amazing is that in 2 days it was back down to 1.5K. I can’t recall the river dropping so quickly as that. Currently the flows are stable at 1,129 cfs, Water clarity is perfect with a slight tinge to it. Before...

Lower Sac River Striper Fishing remains fair to good among changing conditions. The water temp and air temps are changing greatly. Water temps have dropped down into the mid to high 50s and night time air temp lows are dipping into the the low 50s high 40s with day time highs of the high 80s…So BIG swings in air temp and conditions throughout the day. Fish have...

Frenchman’s Lake Fishing Report

Frenchman’s Lake – Much better weather in the last week with glassy conditions has allowed for some incredible sight fishing opportunities. There are much more fish in the northern part of the lake and it seems much of the population is ganged up there. Most of the trout are in the upper water column with many of them right on the...

Lower Sac Striper Fishing - Fishing is good. Fall fishing changes a bit as the fish go on the “Fall Feed” but it is still good fishing. The fish seem to pod up a bit more and congregate arond larger sources of food so there are some dead spots through the day as we search for fish. Water temps have dropped drasticly which changes presentatiuon and fly selection a bit...

Lower Yuba River Fishing Conditions and Update

I’ve been on the Lower Yuba River for the last three days operating pontoon workshops and tours, the observations and real time experienced at the current flow of 1,035 cubes is eye opening. The “Newba” River, as coined by Jordan Romney is all that, and it is especially apparent at the lower flows. So much material has...

I’ve been roaming back and forth from the Truckee area to the North Fork Yuba River for the past few months, and now it’s time to concentrate my guiding over to the Truckee River and Little Truckee River area for fall. I really can’t wait to be on the Northern Sierra stillwaters as well in a week or two when the water temperatures come down a little more. The...

The shad are finally gone, YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! This means that its time for striper fishing again, and it has been getting better over the past few weeks. We are seeing the typically shakers, but a few bigger fish from 3-7lbs have been hooked as well, this will continue though...

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...

Jon Baiocchi reports on 8.10.17

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...
