run up to 20 pounds. They form the majority of the winter run and arrive in
early December.

YUBA:
Moody water...things are closed above the 20 bridge. Below 20 can fish
extremely well. Fish are being caught above and below the bridge. Fox
Radical caddis and Anderson's Crosswire caddis have been real winners
here.
|
FEATHER:
Striper fishing improved last week, with fish to 15 pounds caught from
Shanghai Rapids to Live Oak on American River Specials in Chartreuse and
Grey. Flashtail Clousers in olive too. A few small steelhead were being
taken on caddis nymphs like the Radical Caddis and Z-Wings in the Low
Flow Section.
LOWER SAC:
Trout fishing continued to be fair, not great, on caddis nymphs under
indicators.
AMERICAN:
Nice flows. Half pounders are starting to show. For Stripers use Clouser minnows in chartruese/white,
yellow/white and gray/white.
