Lower Yuba Fly Fishing Report

The Lower Yuba River has been fishing well, offering anglers both subsurface and surface action.

Dry Fly Action:

  • #16 E.C. Caddis

  • #14 Hogan’s Yuba Cripple
    These patterns have been very productive, especially midday, when fish are rising and looking up.

Subsurface / Nymphing:

  • Eggs

  • Fox Pupa #14

  • Frenchies #16

  • Hogan’s S&M #16–18

Start your day with an indicator rig, targeting deeper water and riffles, then switch to dries later for some exciting surface action.

The swing game has also been producing, with quality rainbows and steelhead showing up in the runs.

Overall, the Lower Yuba is offering solid fall fishing—plenty of options for nymphers, dry fly anglers, and swingers alike.
