The Lower Yuba River is one of the best dry fly fisheries in Northern California. One of the best ways to fly fish there is from a drift boat. The float is 4 miles long and starts at the Highway 20 bridge and ends at Sycamore Ranch. The fish range from 12 to 18 inches and are the hardest fighting rainbows you will find. There are also steelhead in the Yuba that will be caught from time to time. January through March the lower Yuba has a great Skwala hatch. March Browns, PMDs, and caddis hatches occur in the later months and at times can be epic. The fish in the Lower Yuba see a lot of pressure throughout the season and quickly wise up too many fly patterns.
