Addition al details to follow as we get closer to the date\nThe Lower Yuba is acces sible from the sea - you must have a 2026 California Steelhead Reporting C ard in addition to your fishing license. Unlike the license\, the report c ard must be delivered in hard copy\, either by snail mail or by hand from a fishing store. Plan ahead!\n\nLocation\nUniversity of California Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center\, 8279 Scott Forbes Road\, Browns V alley\, CA 95918. Meet at the gate to the river road (N39.24672°\, W121.3 2222°)\, which is on your right about 1/3 mile before you reach the resea rch center. Note that\, misleadingly\, there is a sign at the gate that sa ys "No Fishing Access". The gate 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 Marysville. Pass through downtown Marysville on 70\ , and as you round the lake\, turn right onto Hwy 20 east. Continue 15 mil es\, pass the Sycamore Ranch Campground. At the sign to the UC Station\, t urn 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 Di tch. SCFFC strongly encourages carpooling.\n\nGeneral Notes\nOur Club even t on the Yuba will be on the private property owned by the University of C alifornia and is one of their Sierra Research facilities. We have contract ed for TVFF's exclusive use of the facility for the two days over the week end. The river is about 1.5 miles above the highway 20 bridge over the Yub a and accessible only through a locked gate for a maximum of twenty (20) a nglers per day. There is approximately 2.5 miles of available river that i s the tailwater section a mile 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\, although that is also available for those Euro Nymphing.\n\nThe UC facility is on many acres in a pastoral valley leadin g down to the river. Most of the research here is for cattle\, grazing lan d management\, and erosion control so it is very quiet with no nearby road s\, ranches\, or houses. There is a covered picnic area that sits above th e river with 8-10 picnic tables and a porta potty restroom with hand wash station that is also available on site no water on site\, limited cell pho ne reception\, no fires. All in all\, it's a very scenic and serene site.\ n\nGear and Tackle Recommendations:\nYuba River fish are notoriously "hot" and frisky. They workout full time in the strong current and just love to play in it when disturbed by a sharp hook. Anticipate that you will see s trong runs on hook ups and that the fish will feel like they are 4-6" larg er than you see in the net. So...\nRod &\; line weights/types: 5 or 6 w eight rods\, reels and floating lines are the norm to help control their r uns. A 4 weight for Euro Nymphing should work well as long as it has a goo d stiff butt section to manage any runs.\nLeaders and tippet: Fishing styl e dependent but normally I fish a 9’ 4X leader and adjust with added tip pet of up to 4-6’ of 5 for the dry flies\, and stick with 4X fluoro for the nymphs.\nOther gear:\nNote that we will not be using any watercraft as this is a walk and wade event with float takeouts way too far downstream to be of use for us.\nFlies: Flies to match and we will send out a more cu rrent list as we get closer to the dates and better understand how the wea ther and water are impacting the hatches. Typically\, you will need Skwala dries and nymphs\, Pale Morning Duns\, Baetis/Blue Wing Olives\, Pink Alb erts\, Little Yellow Sallies\, Pale Evening Duns\, Golden Stones\, and fou r varieties of Caddis.\n\n\n\nLocation / Date\nUniversity of California Si erra Foothill Research and Extension Center\, 8279 Scott Forbes Road\, Bro wns Valley\, CA 95918.\nJune 19th - 21st 2026\n\nFishmaster\nJustin Ice (4 08)-690-6143\, justin@schwagerdavis.com\n\nRegistration / Booking Info\nFe bruary 4th (Wednesday) 9am\nEmail only\, one  reservation per email\, fir st come first served\nPayment to Santa Cruz Fly Fishing Club by February 1 3th .
