27 April 09, Yuba River.
Following the conclusion of the Sacramento Valley Highland games, three of the Culann's Hounds band members and I went and fished the Yuba River. Sunday evening we got to the Highway 20 bridge just at dusk, shortly after 8 PM, No fish were caught, although something did break me off very cleanly about 8:45. I was fishing a #10 Parachute Adams in hopes of being able to see it. Fished just downstream of the bridge, river left until we couldn't see.
Monday we bopped up to Downieville and on to Union Gap CG. They DO check to make sure you have paid if you park in the CG. I went 4 to hand for 8 rises and 6 hook ups. They were all ten inches or smaller, except the ones I didn't land or the ones I didn't hook. Steve, the Fiddler caught "a bunch, mostly dinks" but somehow, no one ever saw him even with a fish on. Mine took a big stonefly nymph (1) or a Grey Fuzzy Thing #12 (7). Steve reports that his were evenly split between a medium stonefly nymph, and a Grey Fuzzy Thing. Michael and the Barbarian Princess caught no fish, although they had a good time, and made lunch for Steve and I. Renee continues to work on her casting form.....
We got back to San Francisco about 2 AM, tired but content
