What an awesome day on the Yuba!! I just wanted to thank Steve Karr and PCT and everyone who was there yesterday..good conversation on the hike, help with my casting, teaching moments, Richard and I "team-catiching" a fish...I had such a great time-- even though only one grab LOL--- and it is always fun to hang out and fish with such a friendly group of people......It is still my favorite event of the year. Hope to see some of you at the March 16 event in a couple weeks!

I had a great time there as well. It was nice seeing everyone & chatting with Dylan, Chris, Dan, Sarah, Richard, Steve, Lowell, Mitch & others who I didn't catch your names. Too bad Bob & I had to leave early, but it was a fun day nonetheless.
I came away from the day learning 2 things: Richard makes a great salsa & Mitch knows how to catch trout. I told my girlfriend that the next time I'm fishing when Mitch is fishing I'm going to sit up on the bank & watch how he does it. It was amazing that he caught 14 by lunch. Richard did pretty well with his 6 by lunch too.
Steve, thanks for the invite. I'll definitely help you guys on Putah Creek in the future with your clean-ups, etc.
Thanks to Chris and Dylan for the ride. It's always better with a group. Pretty day. Good conversation. Cold beer and a couple silver bullets hitting my dangled midge. Definitely not a numbers game unless your name was Mitch or Richard. They were fish whisperers. Thanks to the PCT organizers for a fun day. Hope to see you at the Spring festival.
Regards,
Dan

I might need another mounting system for my gopro , But here is Sarahs fish Sorry no can do I cant load a video ?? not sure why ???? here u go <@(((((><! Futhermore I had a great time as well Getting to see Sarah get a chance to hike and fish the glide up top was a lot of fun . Stan, Sarah and me followed about ten or fifteen minutes behind Eric and brandon when I saw them walk right past the glid I said to myself <@(((>< Time . Three years ago Allistair came back down for lunch with this fish story that was hard to trump . I cant remember how many fish he caught but I remember it was up there around 13 or 15 <@(((>< so that spot can do well , I just wish Stan and Sara could have hooked up more fish . Its a long hike but well worth it . It requires a nice long cast as the fish are holding out about 35 to 50 feet and u need to cast up and above where they are holding so a good cast is nesecarry but if you can get there before ;those guys ! the fishing can be silly . Thank you steve and all the rest that make this trip possible year after year , And If your following this thread (Allistair) It would be great to see you again and catch up , Maybe u could make the Yuba trip sometime Cherio everyone

It was a great outing and thanks to Steve, Cliff and everyone else who helped make it possible. Sarah, your positive attitude is appreciated along with your willingness to hang out with a bunch of radical fishermen. I for one, wish there were more women like you involved in these trips!
The fishing was wide-open upriver as the fish keyed into the small midges. I think the bite improved as the day warmed up. Ironically, the best setup seemed to be the same one I use at Putah Creek: the kinky fly and either a zebra midge or a cream midge as a dropper. The water was chilly and forgetting my polartek pants was a big mistake.
Got only one pic as I was using my phone and was afraid of drowning it.
Hope to see some of you at the March 16 event in a couple weeks!
