Took a newbie to the Yuba yesterday. Mostly to teach and try to get him his first hook-up.He is giving bank fishing a retirement attempt. Spent the first few minutes showing indicator rigging and technique. While working our way upstream he was amazed at a couple places I was telling him to drift through as it was water a gear-guy would pass on. But he did it so he's learning.
The water was actually had a nice off color tourquouise hint to it.That nice slightly dirty fishiny look.
There were some blue wing olives coming off around a size 12. Had several refusals on BWO para with a PT dropper and some questionable "bumps" The "new guy" (don't want to mention Davids name) was moving upstream and had his first hook up on a sunk BWO. I think he's "hooked" after those Yuba trout. Next trip we'll get one to hand.
