The Yuba river continues to prove that it is a fish-it-at-dark kinda river.
Nothing happening, very few bugs except dragonflies from 5-8PM. Then we saw a few melon colored mayflies and a handful of golden stones, but nothing on the water.
The action happened at dusk/dark, when the sun dropped below the bluff. Lotsa dinks pecking at the flies...missed a few, Caught a dink, LDRed a nice one, had a grab and go, then C&R this one. The last 3 were on a yellow hopper thing with red legs...but it was too dark for that to matter, they went after the shape. 15 inch fish which fought like the scrappy Yuba Duba he was.
Sorry for the poor quality...iPhones suck at dark.
