Plan ahead!\ n\nLocation\nUniversity of California Sierra Foothill Research and Extensi on Center\, 8279 Scott Forbes Road\, Browns Valley\, CA 95918. Meet at the gate to the river road (N39.24672°\, W121.32222°)\, which is on your ri ght about 1/3 mile before you reach the research center. Note that\, misle adingly\, there is a sign at the gate that says "No Fishing Access". The g ate will be opened and then locked behind us. 2.5 hrs from Berkeley. Take I-80 east to Sacramento\, turn onto I-5 north\, then onto Hwy 70 to Marysv ille. Pass through downtown Marysville on 70\, and as you round the lake\, turn right onto Hwy 20 east. Continue 15 miles\, pass the Sycamore Ranch Campground. At the sign to the UC Station\, turn left onto Peoria Rd\, and then at another sign\, bear right onto Scott Forbes Rd (also called Long Bar Rd). The gate is just past Sicard Flat Ditch. SCFFC strongly encourage s carpooling.\n\nGeneral Notes\nOur Club event on the Yuba will be on the private property owned by the University of California and is one of their Sierra Research facilities. We have contracted for TVFF's exclusive use o f the facility for the two days over the weekend. The river is about 1.5 m iles above the highway 20 bridge over the Yuba and accessible only through a locked gate for a maximum of twenty (20) anglers per day. There is appr oximately 2.5 miles of available river that is the tailwater section a mil e or so below Englebright Dam. The river has easy and level access\, so it 's ideal for those less comfortable in heavy current wading situations\, a lthough that is also available for those Euro Nymphing.\n\nThe UC facility is on many acres in a pastoral valley leading down to the river. Most of the research here is for cattle\, grazing land management\, and erosion co ntrol so it is very quiet with no nearby roads\, ranches\, or houses. Ther e is a covered picnic area that sits above the river with 8-10 picnic tabl es and a porta potty restroom with hand wash station that is also availabl e on site. No water on site\, limited cell phone reception\, no fires. All in all\, it's a very scenic and serene site.\n\nGear and Tackle Recommend ations:\nYuba River fish are notoriously "hot" and frisky. They workout fu ll time in the strong current and just love to play in it when disturbed b y a sharp hook. Anticipate that you will see strong runs on hook ups and t hat the fish will feel like they are 4-6" larger than you see in the net. So...\nRod &\; line weights/types: 5 or 6 weight rods\, reels and float ing lines are the norm to help control their runs. A 4 weight for Euro Nym phing should work well as long as it has a good stiff butt section to mana ge any runs.\nLeaders and tippet: Fishing style dependent but normally I f ish a 9’ 4X leader and adjust with added tippet of up to 4-6’ of 5 for the dry flies\, and stick with 4X fluoro for the nymphs.\nOther gear:\nNo te that we will not be using any watercraft as this is a walk and wade eve nt with float takeouts way too far downstream to be of use for us.\nFlies: Flies to match and we will send out a more current list as we get closer to the dates and better understand how the weather and water are impacting the hatches. Typically\, you will need Skwala dries and nymphs\, Pale Mor ning Duns\, Baetis/Blue Wing Olives\, Pink Alberts\, Little Yellow Sallies \, Pale Evening Duns\, Golden Stones\, and four varieties of Caddis.\n\n\n \nLocation / Date\nUniversity of California Sierra Foothill Research and E xtension Center\, 8279 Scott Forbes Road\, Browns Valley\, CA 95918.\nAugu st 21st - 23rd 2026\n\nFishmaster\nTBD - Please contact Justin Ice if inte rested in hosting this event justin@schwagerdavis.com\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n&n bsp\;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.santacruzflyfishing.org/wp-content/u ploads/2026/01/Yuba-River-b.jpg CATEGORIES:Fishouts LOCATION:University of California Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Ce nter\, 8279 Scott Forbes Road\, Browns Valley\, CA\, 95918\, GEO:39.251358;-121.312587 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=8279 Scott Forbes Road\, Br owns Valley\, CA\, 95918\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=University of Calif ornia Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center:geo:39.251358,-121.312 587 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
