Keep Calm and Fly Fish

Blue Gin Yuba

I spent a few hours on the Yuba trying to figure out where the fish live around Hammon Grove. I’m at that point where I don’t really care if I catch a fish or not, therefore I’m just swinging big flies. There are a few salmon around but they aren’t cutting redds yet. I was able to get one grab and a few nips.

I’m getting a bit bored of the Yuba so hopefully I can find some time to get to the North Fork of the Feather soon. The fall egg bite is meh.

I took some time to swing flies on the Yuba and was lucky enough to hook and land two beautiful rainbows. While flipping over a few rocks I found a fat juicy short-wing stonefly.

Although I’ve never fished this hatch before the huge number of shucks along the banks have convinced me to start trying.
