Overall this winter has been pretty sweet so far in the way of dry fly fishing. We saw adult skwalas, pmds and alametus brown duns today. While we didn’t see many fish rising throughout the day, in the late afternoon fish were definitely eating skwalas on top and we were fortunate to score on the big dry. The skwala hatch on the yuba isn’t generally an easy pursuit but very rewarding when things come together.

Nymphing was today we had the most success on birds nests, rubberlegs and eggs. There have been some nice bwo hatches on overcast days lately. Weather report looks good til close to the end of the month and hopefully the hatch continues well throughout February. I have dates available for anyone who would like to get out there for a float and try their hand on the infamous skwala hatch.
