YUBA

Yuba is low, clear and cold right now thanks to zero rainfall in the basin. The best insect activity is up in the Highway 20 stretch has been in the afternoons when there has been some sporadic dry fly activity. If you don’t see anythin on the surface, try small nymphs in olives and browns. Skawala nymph patterns are now the ticket. Most salmon are carcasses now, so white flesh flies are also getting bit.

FEATHER Tech Notes:

Summer Steelhead should be making their way into the system soon.  Fishing will be more of a line game.  Bring some sinking leaders with you, so you can swing some flies.

AMERICAN RIVER Tech Notes:

Sinking leaders, like Rio Versileaders, turn a floating line into a sink tip line.  It will help you get your fly to the fish.
