Yuba River Fly Fishing Report

Dave Barbieri Reports on 11.12.2015

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 fish definitely aren’t gorging on eggs alone. BWO nymphs are working well. We are also getting some very good dry fly action! So even though the egg bite on the Yuba isn’t red hot, we are still getting into really good numbers of fish.  The Yuba is flowing at 625 cfs.
