FISHING REPORT
Updated - 10/12/20
Current River Conditions: about 104 CFS
Fishing- Very Good: Tom Page at the Reel Anglers Fly Shop in Grass Valley reports that the water downstream from Sierra City is cooling off and improving the fishing. CDFW planted the Sierra City area last week.
Campgrounds are beginning to open. Call the forest service and PG&E before you go. Keep checking back. Attractor fly patterns like Adams Parachutes, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators etc. are all you need. Keep it simple.
We have guides who are on the North Yuba every day no matter what the season. Give the shop a call (800)410-1222 or click here and we will set you up.
