YOU WILL NEED A VALID CALIFORNIA LICENSE, STEELHEAD REPORT CARD AND BAY-DELTA ENHANCEMENT STAMP TO FISH THE LOWER YUBA.

On June 13, 2009, the flows on the Lower Yuba were 2025 cfs which includes the flow from Deer Creek.  The water flow should remain around that level for the rest of the month.  The water is clear with the temperature in the mid-fifties.

We floated the upper section on June 11, 2009.  There was a sporadic hatch of PMD’s and a few Little Yellowstone flies but the wind kept the hatches from really materializing.  We did pick up a few fish nymphing with large stonefly nymph imitations and a dropper with a B/H flashback P.T.   The fish would rise to a dry PMD imitation if you could get it directly over them.  You will find most of the fish in the slow water along the bank or along the current lines.
