Yuba-Ku 3-8-2016

The wrong kinda boil and roll.
Shaking my head.
Turbid like a latte.

Timing is just way to off.
Another two weeks at least.
If there's any bugs left.

Almost ready to dream of somewhere else?
Not really disappointed.
But really was anticipating middle March.

Where will the fish go.
Where will we go?
What will they eat?

All will migrate I guess.
Maybe middle fork.
Somewhere near timberline?


Over the weekend of February 27 I had the opportunity to share my split cane rods at the Fly Fishing show in Pleasanton, CA.
I had a great time meeting people that knew of me. It was great to share tales, thoughts and cast rods during the three days.
One thing in common with us locals was a concern over the Yuba River. This river really has a cult following that seems to be always gaining new inductees every season.
Well, hopefully this spring won't be a wash out of turbid water. I've been really looking forward to the March Brown emergence since last year. The recent warm storms in the higher elevations have not been producing the amount of snow that i would thing we need. Rather the rain has been melting lower elevation snow causing high amounts of turbid run off.
But like everything, maybe this year won't be anything like last year and that will only force me to discover a new place and a new way to see the Fly Fishing experience.
If you came by and said hi at the show thanks! hopefully we can meet up on the river some time. look for me casting with some boo!
