YUBA:

No shad below Deguerra Dam but trout action has been pretty good above and below the 20 bridge. Caddis early and late! Some BWO's popping off too.


 


FEATHER:
Stripers fishing has continued to be good for shakers. Look for more fish moving in daily. PLENTY of shad stacked up below the "falls". Pick your medicine and go with it.


 

 

 


LOWER SAC:
This was the striper hotspot last week, as a bunch of new fish moved into the area. Fishing pressure has subsided quite a bit

There are lots of caddis hatching on the river, as well as March Browns, PMDs, and a few stoneflies. Guides on the river have even been finding some dry fly action,
. . when timing and conditions are just right
