The rain is still coming down in Nor Cal. Yesterday was nice, today overcast and cool. Looks like we will get rain again.
The Lower American is flowing over 8000 CFS and that is BIG. Up into the bushes and trees.
I fished last week a couple of times at only 6,000 and it was a lot of water then.
No runs, 1-hit (in two trips), no errors. Looks like fish are scattered and not many new fish coming in right now. Looking forward to the Bluebacks showing up, which may be helped by this high water (if it ever ends).
Lower Yuba is flowing at over 4,000 now and is really unfishble right now unless you're in a drift boat. We have an Auburn Flycasters clinic scheduled for March 19th, but right now it looks like we may have to reschedule for later.
Feather River is still relatively stable in the Lower river at about 2050 CFS. The spring steelhead should be showing soon. I'd look at the low flow first. Hopefully I can get up there next week. Fishing San Juans, small Stones, pheasant tails and caddis may do it.
Hope to see you on the river next week!
