Yes, they're still in the Yuba too.
Just got in from the water an hour ago and this morning was by far the most frustrating day yet. I've been fishing the mornings and doing okey but the last couple of trips have been slim pickings.
Today though, we found them big time by the hundreds, maybe the thousands. Some areas the bottom was black with fish, BUT getting them to bite was almost impossible. We tried every color of the rainbow and nothing seemed to evoke a hit.
You could stand very still and watch these fish in the clear water move and grab small ??? somethings and then drop down again to join the rest of the crowd so they were feeding on something.
I just read all of the recent posts on Bill's board under "Shad" and there is a lot of chatter about using Prince nymphs and Poopahs and I've heard this in years past as well but I've always done good with traditional flashy patterns UNTIL TODAY.
Any thoughts about this new food source? Is it just the time of day? Evenings have always been better but I'm kind of a morning guy and like to get out there when things are cool.
