Yuba River

[Fochetti]

Fished the Yuba again this evening, swung an old school march brown wet for a while with one grab. In the evening switched over to dries and landed one 12"er. Hooked another BIG fish that had me almost into my backing, was using the Hardy again, and he popped off about 15 feet from me. I really wanted to see this fish , I know it was bigger than the last one I caught there that taped 18 1/2". He did a violent head shake and that was it. Gotta love barbless hooks.

It was still a blast though he had my Hardy screaming! Hooked both on a para adams.

No pics tonight, sorry I did not want to waste time with the smaller one. The window for fishing to rising fish is very small.

That is a great fishery and so close for many of us.

It should pick up in the fall.

Thanks for the report.

Gotta love the Yuba egg bite in the fall.

Went back this evening to see if I could not find that fish that got away. No such luck, the wind was pretty brutal out there and never died down. I did not see a single rise the entire night. Did not want to go subsurface so I ended up with the big goose egg...Although the moon rise was pretty spectacular.
