When the heat shuts down the other rivers, head to the North Fork Yuba
The upper reaches of the North Fork Yuba are where you want to be on those hot Summer days. The water is cooled by springs and will stay well below the Hoot Owl Closure temperatures that we see on the Truckee and Upper Sac.
As the flows drop, the fish will concentrate in the deeper plunge pools. Mid-day they will seek the shade of the giant boulders that make up the upper section on the North Yuba.
