The Yuba is now at 27,600 and still rising !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now it is up to 31,000 cfs, which is twice the flow of the Lower American right now! The Yuba is more than 6 times higher than it was over the weekend. I can't even imagine what that looks like. Anyone know what this does to the fish? They were inducing high flows on the Colorado river this winter to decrease trout populations in favor of native species, but that may have been timed to mess up spawning.

Boy with flows of 30,000 the next time we fish the Yuba it will be like fishing a new river. The river bottom will be totally changed, with that much water moving thru.
Take care

Just saw the flow page, 41.6...!!!
All I know is that the Y will have a whole new face lift as far as that river bottom is concerned.
Don't know how the fish will do.... But I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to make our summer better. Just imagine...all the stones you stepped on along the banks, some I had even named for the falls I've taken. Those are gone now probably.
It's a Safeway grocery store for those fish right now.!! Lots of food being uprooted now..
It will be interesting once the water settles how this fishery will fish. Holding spots yesterday - may turn into fruitless holds tommorow. But I do love the challenge of a new river.
The Yuba will indeed be a new river to fish in once we're done with the high flows. Can't wait to try...
