I just rolled into town. It’s on people.
Flow is running 230 cubes – this is good for most of the river. Water temperature is in the low 60’s. This is good too.
I tested a few spots. Caught 4 or more trout at each decent pocket or pool.
During the day Nymphing is the way to play if you want to get some numbers. Some fish will rise to a well presented dry. I’m seeing caddis, Pale Moringing Duns (PMDs), and Golden Stones.
When the sun gets low, get ready for the dry fly game. Don’t let the fish see you and give em a drag fee drift – you’re money. I had a 16″ wild rainbow crush a #10 Stimulator this evening. Large Golden Stones were hitting the water up to sunset.
If you’re on the North Yuba and need flys or gear, drop by Sierra Hardware in Downieville, they’ll hook you up.
