Both swinging traditional steelhead flies, and dead drifting stonefly nymphs with glo bug droppers, are catching steelhead from 3-5 lb steelies. Best action is from Junction City to Lewiston. A few storms should get the steelhead on the move and more receptive to taking the fly. Yuba River, Lower. Current flow info.
Fishing is good to very good.
Both nymphing and dry fly fishing is good throughout the day. Fish a caddis pupa or stonefly on the point with a small BWO nymph or glow-bug for a dropper. Attractor dries such as humpies, large mayflies, and stimulators are still producing well fished along the seams of long riffles and runs. The section above Highway 20 is now open.
