Yuba River trip

[Simo]

I'm not much of a poster on this forum but my buddy, Willy, sent me some pictures from our trip floating down the Yuba 3 weeks ago and I thought they were worthy of posting. We had a great day with a total of 10 fish to the net. The two largest were 18".

To my surprise, he also took some pictures of these Skawalas having a threesome. It looks like caviar on the Yuba.

Almost nothing better than fish and a threesome!

Thanks for the replies.

I am curious about the life cycle of the Skawala. The last picture that I posted showed one of the Skawalas with a huge cluster of eggs. Do these bugs crawl back into the water and deposit the eggs all at once or do they fly above the water and drop the fertilized eggs? I thought that they would fly above the water and drop a few eggs at a time.

Is there any info on the Web that describes the life cycle of the Skawala?

Check out the Entomology section at www.flyfishingtraditions.com (http://www.flyfishingtraditions.com) It has info on the Skwala Stone. It also has a Lower Yuba hatch Chart. It also has a pattern link on the hatch chart with patterns to match the hatch on the Yuba.
