I decided to head up to the Yuba today and get in some fishing before the rains slam in this weekend. The river continues to fish very well. Flows are a little high at 2000+ cfs, but very fish-able. The water is very clear. The last few salmon are still around, and by looking at the number of redds, it must have been a decent salmon run this year. The fish are definitely fattened up from gorging on eggs the last couple of months. These were the largest trout I have seen since the 2017 blowout, and numbers are good. The crowds were very light today as well.

I nymphed all day. Again, anything that resembled a stonefly was eaten at some point or another. Patience was key, and being sure to adjust leader lengths for the different runs generally resulted in good things. I would expect that egg imitations would do well also, but I did not fish them. I did see one rise today! There were midges out in the am, but no action on them. They were followed by some mayflies in the early afternoon.

You'll need a good truck wash after getting home!
