North Fork Yuba Trip and a question

[Mike O]

A little tip, especially if coming from the East. The farther upstream you go the skinnier the water, but the fish are about the same size as down lower. Makes those dinks a lot more fun in the plunge pools. Wader are not needed. Also, fish it at dusk or down. No reason to fish midday.

and it goes without saying, but BRING BUG SPRAY if you go up higher. mosquitos will drain you to a husk

I second what Micky and Jay wrote and will only add, having fished the NFY from above Plum to below the 49 bridge I prefer the upper sections....even though the largest fish I've caught there was just a mile or so below Downieville. The section below Sierra City is just too beautiful to not fish. Look for more than a pull-out...maybe a short road to the river.
