The Lower Yuba


...is a great tail water out of Grass Valley. It has Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, and Rainbows all of witch are wild. It reminds of smaller sized Yellowstone River. Of course a select few would like to limit our pubic access by putting in a cable fence along almost the entire lenght of the river and then charging to launch a boat. The Yuba is a great public resource and the closest wild trout water for those living in the greater Sacramento, and Bay Area. I have had many a fine day there including a nice session on Friday with the boys. I'm sure Western Aregates is pumping Huey Lewis and the News on their radios in there office right now.

The weather looks way too nice.

as a native montanan, it feels great to walk up the ruby river and know that the rich land owners can't do a thing to stop me from fishing. doesn't sit well with locals to have outsiders try and make their own rules.

Wow, sounds like a great place to fish. Why the distinction between the rainbows and the steelhead... Will some fish travel to the ocean and some live only in the river?

They have resident Rainbows that do not travel to the ocean and Steelhead that do travel to the Ocean.
