Yuba River Fish Report

12-5-2008

Water Conditions:

The Yuba is fishing fair right now. We have had good reports of Salmon spawning, with the trout and a few Steelhead feeding on eggs and nymphs behind them. The cool nights are starting to slow the dry fly fishing. There's still the occassional rising fish - usually to BWO's midday to evening -- but most of the fish being caught are on eggs and nymphs.

Fishing Conditions:

Eggs and few BWOs are still coming off on the Yuba right now, starting to hatch around midday.

Flies:

?Ģ M.C. Redd Reapers
?Ģ Boles Bazookas
?Ģ Surreal Eggs
?Ģ Baetis Nymphs #18-20
?Ģ Superfloss Rubberlegs
?Ģ Golden Stone Nymphs #8-12
?Ģ Brown or Black Birds Nest #14-16
?Ģ Baetis Dries and Emergers #18-20

The Fly Shop's Tips: Public wading access is best near the Hwy 20 Bridge. You can also launch drift boats there, and take out at the Sycamore Ranch R.V. Park.
