watching a guy play a fish for 5 minutes is way worse. keep the photos coming! You want to do the fish a favor then don't fish it. plenty of other water that doesn't see pressure.

spent Tuesday on the "Y" this tiny flow makes fishing a challenge. Lots of hours watching. NOT fishing. A full jar is a must on a day like this. The bug life was scattered, bringing a few to...

They will eat on the surface in the colored water! 2 to 3 feet visibility is perfect for anglers that really lack in the stealth department. That color is just what the river needed after the gin...

They did exist in the 90's. Here's a real legend holding a dry fly caught beauty.6977

my guess is last years crazy water really hurt some of those fish for feeding purposes. Have had alot of big headed skinny fish this year. Really sad to see the way they move the river up and down...

Spent the last month grinding the rocks on the banks of the Yuba.The gin clear water, low flows, and waves of people stumbling the bank have the fish smarter than ever! Seem to be finding more...

r u positive that they were stoneflies? The timing doesn't seem right. U never know on the Yuba?

jon we gotta get in touch im ready to go! call me. Fishing has been really good in the local waters!

The hex hatch is a joke. Has been for the last 12 years. If you want to go drag a nymph on the bottom you will find a fish or two. Dont expect to find rising fish in patterns like the old days. ...

big kahuna is right on the money with what he said! nothing at all like last year. those who call this a hatch are crazy. Our group was seeing more skwalas in early january than we do now. I also...

Id be scared to go after all this.

Fished the Yuba on wednesday around the 20 bridge with "EBAC." Things got real weird. We had fog. (again). I had some awful stomach virus. Thinking it was the night before mexican food. I was...

My last day was a true Yuba river beat down! Not many bugs. Maybe that high water is going to have some effect on the insects. Still a touch early but were just not seeing the mayfly hatches this...

skwalas, but not that many.. very few pmd's and few bwo's. This may sound crazy but the fish started keying in on honey bees. Yes those white boxes they place out this time of year. That kind of...

spent a few days there this week. camping! Fish are starting to look up. The fog was a little ruff. Monday there might of been 40 guys on the river. Crushed them on tues. Bad north wind on wed. ...

The bugs are there! One of our scouts was there on Wednesday and counted close to 40 skwalas. If your not looking for them then you probably wont see them. The fish were not looking for them...

jon I got the flu or I was coming up! a bit cold but sounds like the fishing was better than the week before. Springs coming!

This day could of turned into a disaster real quick. Mother nature at it's worst always brings a smile out of a few die hards! Eagle Lake won this day! However the closer is going to be a...

in the bridge picture you can see a rainbow taking a tiny mayfly. Hope this weather allows us to fish again!

it went gangbusters on thursday!

a creek with lots of fish, and dry flies. I was hooked from day 1! o ya and a good teacher or teachers really helps.
Waiting til a later age helped me i think. ya I went fishing in the early...

I don't get why they would dump gravel in this river? Have they ever been there? The Yuba is full of perfect size spawning gravel for salmon. At some point leaving this poor river alone is...

Hard to imagine salmon flys in this weather. Never seen it. had to be october caddis. amazing year for them!
