Northern California Fishing Report | Yuba River, Mt Shasta, Mccloud River, Upper Sac River
July/August Fishing Report Northern California
Yuba River Wild Rainbow Trout Marysville, CA
The Yuba River Outside of Marysville and Yuba City, CA.
Over the past month the Yuba River continues to provide some quality opportunity for all spectrum of fly fishing. Nymph fishing is producing the most fish overall but we have been able to throw hoppers at the bank and find those pods off rising fish to hatches throughout the day. The Yuba river will continue to be a great summer option for the remainder of the summer with stable flows and good water clarity. The river is best accessed by drift boat to cover more water. lots of pressure over the past few weeks from foot access locations in the upper reaches.
If you would like to boot a float guided fly fishing trip on The Yuba river contact us now to get you on the schedule, half day walk wade trips can be a great option as well if you are crunched on time.
Dry Fly Eater on The Mccloud River Mt. Shasta, CA
McCloud River, Upper Sacramento River out of Dunsmuir, CA Mt Shasta, CA
The Mccloud River is in great shape since trout opener and hasn’t skipped a beat, we are seeing extremely high angler pressure due to lots of people out and about. with that being said the fishing is still good if you know where to go and get away from the crowds. hatches are staying consistent with good dry fly options, water tempts are on the high side but still okay so tight lining and euro nymphing techniques are still a great option. we have also been finding fish ripping streamers which is always a fun way to target fish on the mighty McCloud. if you would like to get on the schedule for a guided trip feel free to shoot us an email.
The Upper Sacramento River out of Dunsmuir, CA & Mt Shasta, CA
The Upper Sac has been kicking out great options throughout the day early and late seem to be the ticket with great early morning hatches and evening hatches, yellow sally’s dry flies with your favorite nymph under it seems to get the job done most days. fish are throughout the river the further you get away from the road the better it gets. Great option for someone looking to escape the heat from the valley or the city. open dates available reach out to us to get on the schedule for one of California top wild trout fisheries.
