Yuba County Fishing Reports

The Sac River striper bite is really turning on. Fish are pushing up from the Delta and spreading throughout the system, with awesome action reported around Clarksburg. Anchovies are doing most of the damage, full chunks, especially early in the morning before the bite slows down mid-morning. Swimbaits and ribbon-tail worms are also getting bit. Shakers are still thick, but keepers, and even a few big ones, are starting to mix in. Bank anglers are scoring at spots like Bryte Beach and Garcia Bend, but high water has made access tricky in some areas. Water clarity is improving, and the next week could be prime, especially if the weather holds

Trout were on top, caught top lining 75' back from my kayak with Dynamic Lures HD Trout and Berkley Flicker Shads. HD Trout were great with the crappie, because they imitate minnows. The crappie were spread out, caught in depths of 10' to 20'. The trout were caught 10' to 15' from top and depth did not matter. My better half, Christy Wilson caught the biggest crappie and biggest Trout of the morning

Bullards Bar is kicking out plenty of kokanee right now, but most are small... below 12 inches. A few 14–15 inchers have been picked up, but they’re rare. Fish are stacked around 30–40 feet and hitting best early in the day. Wiggle hoochies behind dodgers in pink or orange are getting the most attention. Troll tight to points, ledges, and coves—fish are schooling up in pockets. The spotted bass bite has been very good as they gorge on kokanee. Dropshots and swimbaits are getting the most attention.
