    I landed two fish. I will be honest I only really fished for an hour or so. Much of the time I was looking at the river for hatches and such. Top fly was the Last Chance Pinkie Emerger Size 16.

    I appreciate that Lance, thank you.

    I think my brother is headed there today to check it out and was curious.

    I went to the coast last weekend, but might give the Yuba a shot this coming weekend if I can get away for a few hours. With the warm weather this week there should be a few skwalas flying around by the weekend or early next week, if not sooner.

    I was there Thursday, saw a handful of Skwalas landing on the surface to drop their eggs

    If the rain slows for a while the lower Yuba river could be the place to go in Feb/March/April.

    Should be getting better. 600 cfs on the Yuba and about 35 cfs on Deer Creek.

    I'll be up on the UC property this weekend and will report.

    Caught this on the Yube Saturday, probably 18”-19”. 6 hours of fishing, one hit, one fish, but at least he had some size.


    Curious if anyone can tell if this is a steelhead or trout? Tail seems larger than normal and it has a nice snout. The lice I don’t think are from the ocean. You can see the fly I caught him on (high sticking) in his mouth - a CDC carrot fly designed by Devin Olsen.

    There was a constant but very light baetis hatch most of the day despite a lack of clouds. No Skwala. 1-2 caddis. Very minimal surface activity. River was crowded and the Mad Max crew was tearing it up all day on their ATV’s and they weren’t quiet. Water temp was 49. Beautiful day even if the fishing was slow.

    Tough to say, the lack of spotting below the lateral line is indicative of steelhead genetics IMO, but I have my doubts that too many of those sub-20" fish venture down to the Bay with any frequency. I think when you connect to a 23"+ fish in that river there's a good chance it's been down in the salt at least a bit. But who really knows short of having them radio tagged.
