The Yuba gives it up!

Wow those are some nice looking fish. I guess I need to get up there, it would be a first for me. You also gave up the orange glow bug in that last picture. Thanks for the report. It is nice to hear about a great day of fishing, that sounds like a Yuba Bonanza.

No Glo Bug, a size 10 creamy orange bead, something bright and big.

got to love the yellow or orange sucker spawn this time of year.......and the crawdad hatch (thus the success with the copper john). Try a size 20 red copper john at the seams of the tail end of riffles. This month and next month the crawdads start carying around baby crawdads by the hundreds underneath their tails. Generally between zize 20-22 at the beggining/middles of march, and about 16-18 by the end of march. Seems like the larger one had some success today for ya Bob.Looks like a great day Bob! Now if I could just get off of these cructhes.....Been way to long.

Were you getting the fish with the march brown with emergers or with a soft hackle?

ONEWEIGHT · Senior Member

It was a size 10-12 dry pattern on top.

Drifter- I have been fishing the wonderful Yuba and surrounding waters since you were in diapers. Although I find your enthusiasm encouraging I have to disagree with this suggestion. I don't like to make waves but I have followed these forums for a long time (under a different name) and quite frankly am sick of your poor grammar and vastly incorrect suggestions.

ouch! I'm scorned I thought I always use good grammar cry

Nothing like being a coward, making a new account and talking smack. F**king Wimp!

Agree with FlyFreak. Drifter is such a ...... Oh crap forgot to change my screen name. hmm

drifter · Senior Member

Thats it Jeff, your cut off smile

or should I more appropriately say, "thats' its jeff, yere cut of."

brian clemens · Senior Member

even though you dont like making waves, you are going to do it anyways. great way to show your maturity level and ruining someones post. i thought we were over that. there is always someone. oh ya what happened to PMing. great words BOWB, very well put.

hey drifter, i think you have always been very informative, and have always been pretty spot on when it comes to fishing info. i love the grammar on that last one. THATS TEXT BOOK.

oh ya and mr flyfreak you are not that old. so dont know about diapers, but drifter could have been in pull ups. wait those didnt come out yet, ok so maybe when he was still wettin the bed.

Personally, I look for any info and a good chuckle on the board, I mean, let's put it in perspective here. When I begin correcting grammar on the board, somebody please drive down and hit me over the head with an idiot stick.

Bob

AfricanAngler · Senior Member

I'll bring the idiot stick tomorrow and knock you over the head with it in advance ..OK !?! biggrin

drifter · Senior Member

Bob, the comma is unnecessary in your last sentence. IMHO.

brian clemens · Senior Member

ya and alastair you dont need a space then 2 periods, just one will serfice. drifter IMHO is not in the webster dictionary, you might want to do a spell check before you post.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Lets break down your post Brian. I wish I had a red pen.

Break up both of your run on sentences and make them two different sentences. You should also change the start of your first sentence.

Use a capital letter on the first word of ever sentence.

Suffice is spelled wrong.

Proper nouns are always capitalized.

You look like a child molester in your avatar. I know that has nothing to do with the English language, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

ONEWEIGHT · Senior Member

Also,

Brian, Daniel Webster does not recognize "ya" as an ENglish word. Secondly, you've offended Alistair by mispelling his name and I know these South Africans' can be very sensitive. A formal written apology is recomended in The Etiquette Book.

Alistair, don't bring that stick tommorrow, we get together on 3/21. You can save your wacks for then.

Bob

brian clemens · Senior Member

actually the only one thats handing out apologies is the man that needs to get hit with the stick. do me a favory alastair hit bob with it for me for this one. lol

ya is in this online dictionary
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ya
as well as this one
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/ya
and this one
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ya

and if you click on africanangler his name is spelled just that way i spelled it.

ONEWEIGHT · Senior Member

When Webster was alive, the internet did not exist. The online version of his dictionary therefor must be misinterpreted from the original version . . . it is the only plausable explanation.

Secondly, my Dad was a New Zealander, and his middle name was Alistair. Somewhere along the long, apparently the South Africans have reinterpreted correct spelling of the name and invented their new version of it. Any questions?

He looks like a child molester F#$k grammar !

streaminbeast · Veteran Member

my vocab is full of slang.

as long as nobody starts typing like this.

i wEnt fLy FisHinG and CauGht soMe tRouT

I will be okay. That is the most annoying thing ever. agree or disagree?

Btw, which one of these is the faster route to get to the yuba from the east bay. williams exit-cut thru colusa to yuba city then the yuba river

OR

80 > 99 > 20

Just curious cause i timed myself last friday on the same day oneweight went and it took me 1hr exactly to get to Marysville from Davis.

AfricanAngler · Senior Member

Bob now I am definitely bring the stick along now, or at least I am going to kick you in......you know us South Africans don't like our names misspelled!!! biggrin

mx19 · Senior Member

the only stick you need to worry about is the one that catches fish..see ya on the water...

iFish · Senior Member

Man, this thread has gotten much better after the earlier "off topic" intrusion of our anonymous poster. Though, Bob's original post started off great. Good to see peace and harmony has returned once again.

Heading to the Lower Yuba tomorrow. Alistair or Alastair (sp?) and Brian, come out a day early. If not, I'll leave a fish or two for you guys.

Cheers

PCT hit the river yesterday on the UCD property. Lots of fish caught with a number of them falling to Copper Johns. JL had one estimated at 26" (he has pictures) MX19 and Otter were tearing them up; Alastair, I don't know-he was pretty quiet. We'll be doing it again in early June. If interested, join PCT (UCD requires members only allowed).

AfricanAngler · Senior Member

Ha ha Sorry guys I couldn't shut up but I am not used to catching more than one fish on a day.... Anyway it was a awesome day out and as always fun to get out on the water with PCT friends.

Steve and Steve thanks for all the hard work on putting on such a fun day!!
