Yuba Status?

[Morgan]

We floated the river yesterday. It was my buddies 2nd day on the river and my first. The fishing was a bit slow for us. Missed one grab on a dry and stuck the other 2 on small bugs. Not much going on yesterday. One decent bow in the high teens and a small hatchery buck. It was my pups first float and he couldnt have done better.

I drove past on 20 on the way to the feather. Counted 6 boats from the bridge at however fast I was going. Was it mobbed?

How was the water clarity and flow?

It was my first day on the water...but to me it looked like a dirtier steelhead green.

It didnt seem to busy. BUt we put in late to avoid being in the mobb of morning boats.

I just noticed the dog licking the fish- nice photo!

A hatchery fish on the Yuba is quite the treat. I landed a 28" hen a few years ago there, huge surprise.

I was below the bridge yesterday and counted eight that drifted by me in about two hours. A mix of pontoons, drift boats, and yaks. Clarity was really good in comparison to the mud we were fishing a week ago. I didn't spend much time fishing the river but hooked two on small mayfly nymphs. Swung a streamer later in the day for a few minutes and got one short strike.

Thinking of heading up on Thursday after class. Hopefully the crowd will be a little thinner then! Probably going to primarily be streamer fishing unless I see some surface activity. It'll be my first time on the Yuba so we'll see how it goes.

They are out there, with a few keen fish aware of the adult, but we need more. They like a full moon phase.

Great Report John! That sure is a fat bow in that picture. Would have been nice to see the 22-24 incher your guest raised! Did you get my PM by chance?

Got it, check your PM - J.
