  President's Outing for New Members on the Yuba River 

  
  

  
  

  Skills Level:

  Wading:  Easy to moderate

  Catch Rate:  Challenging

  Hiking:  Easy to Moderate as you are walking on cobblestones near the water

  Registration: Is required.  Please register for this event for planning purposes.

  
  

  We have created a special outing for our new members (only) in the last twelve (12) months to acquaint them with Tri Valley Fly Fishers and the always challenging Yuba River.  Rob Farris, the President, and TVFF Board of Director members and instructors will be on-site during the day to assist members with setting up to fish successfully, learning new skills, meeting other members, and getting comfortable on one of our premier local rivers in a low pressured environment.

  
  

  Our Club event on the Yuba will be at Hammon Grove Park below the highway 20 bridge. 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.  There are many different accessible areas on the river so it lends itself to indicator nymphing, Euro nymphing, streamers, dry fly fishing, and throwing streamers.  Our instructors will break into groups to assist those interested in fishing particular styles, and then provide extensive on the water coaching.

  If you are new to fly fishing and haven't yet bought your rod, reel, boots, waders, and way too may flies, then don't worry.  TVFF has loaner rod setups and your instructors will have all the trimmings to help you out for the day.
  

  Picnic tables and  a portable restroom are available at Hammon Grove and we will meet there for initial instruction and rod setups, and then adjourn directly down to the river.  We will re-engage at the picnic tables for  lunch and a short break before resuming fishing in the afternoon.  Hammon Grove (see directions below) is a 2 hour and 20 minute drive from the Pleasanton - Livermore area and it allows for a good single day outing and to be home aby early evening.

  

  Cost:  

  Cash price: $0 per TVFF member for the benefit of our new members (only).

  Credit Card price: $0 per TVFF member for the benefit of our new members (only).

  Guests must first register as Club members ($45 annual charge) before registering for this event.  TVFF annual dues qualify you and your qualifying family members (spouse and children under 23) for a full 12 month membership and access to all Club events and full participation.  After registering as a Club member, the above costs for the event will apply.
  

  

  Fishmeister: Rob Farris, President, (925)286-5502

  

  Accommodations and Food: 

  Due to its close location there shouldn't be a need for overnight accommodation's, unless you plan to stay over and fish another day.

  Lodging is available nearby in both Grass Valley (19 miles away up highway 20) or in Nevada City (another three miles up from Grass Valley) for those looking for a hotel.

  Each individual is responsible for their own food for lunch and accommodations if they choose to stay in the area. 

  

  Gear and Tackle Recommendations:

  Yuba 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 strong runs on hookups and that the fish will feel like they are 4-6" larger than you see in the net. So...

  Rod & line weights/types: 5 or 6 weight rods, reels and floating lines are the norm to help control their runs. A 4 weight for Euro Nymphing should work well as long as it has a good stiff butt section to manage any runs.

  Leaders and tippet: Fishing style dependent but normally I fish 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.

  Other gear: Note that we won't 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.

  Flies: 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 at this time of year you will need Skwala and Golden Stonefly nymphs, Baetis/Blue Wing Olives,  and four varieties of Caddis.  Pheasant Tail and Hare's Ear nymphs are always well appreciated by Yuba River fish.

  

  TVFF Cancellation Policy:

  To sign-up for a TVFF Event  that is currently open for registration and chargeable (as set by the Fishmeister), you must both register and pay online, or via check or cash, within two weeks of registering (sent to the TVFF Treasurer) whatever fee is described for that particular Event (trip) at the time of registration. There may be multiple payments required before the trip is actually taken (usually in the case of expensive trips), but it is necessary that you do make payment in the above timely fashion for the initial amount to secure your position on the trip.  However, please note that you are still responsible for the entire amount of the trip if you should need to cancel. 

  Once you are registered, there are no refunds for chargeable Events and trips.  In the situation that a member is, for any reason unable to attend, they may resell their registration slot to another TVFF member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists).  New participants must come first from the waitlist in the order they signed up.  The member cancelling is fully and solely responsible for contacting potential members to replace them and notifying the appropriate Fishmeister.

  If an event/trip is fully registered and closed to registration, you may still sign up on the Wait List to be notified if there are any cancellations.  In such a case of registering provisionally on the Wait List, you do not have to pay until such time that you clear the Wait List and are confirmed for participation.

  Fall Trinity River Steelhead Trip

  
  

  Experience the thrill of catching quality steelhead with Jim Roberts this November. The Trinity River has been exceptionally productive in recent seasons, and we're optimistic this year will be no different. This exclusive event is open only to TriValley Fishers, promising a memorable and engaging outing for all participants.

  This comprehensive package includes cozy accommodations, delicious meals, and river shuttle transportation for two days of guided fishing on expert-led boats. You'll stay in a beautiful five-bedroom house in Junction City,  located about 90 minutes west of Redding, Ca. 

  

  
  

  The adventure kicks off with a warm, home-cooked dinner on the first evening, followed by a hearty breakfast before heading out for a full day of float fishing. After an exhilarating day on the river, unwind with a cocktail and share your success stories, followed by another fine meal. The next day features another substantial breakfast and a second float trip, culminating in departure after the final day of fishing.

  This trip is limited to just six guests. Included are two nights of lodging, two dinners, two breakfasts, two lunches and two full days of guided fishing, with shuttles provided to maximize your fishing time.

  Registration for this event will close 30 days prior to the event.

  Registered participants are responsible for their fishing licenses and steelhead cards,  guide tips as well as transportation to Junction City.  Guides will supply equipment and flies, but feel free to bring your own gear if preferred. If you're interested in swinging flies, please let us know in advance. Contact the outing fishmeister with any questions.

  Yuba River Outing and BBQ - Saturday, Dec 6, 2025 Only

  Registration is for this date only.

  
  

  Skills Level:

  Wading:  Easy to moderate

  Catch Rate:  Challenging

  Hiking:  Easy to Moderate as you are walking on cobblestones near the water
  

  
  

  We will be fishing the first weekend, both Saturday and Sunday after the season  opening  between the highway 20 bridge and Englebright reservoir. This area is know for its spawning salmon and steelhead, as well as resident wild trout  . This will be a  a great opportunity to get in on some undisturbed water for the last 90 days . Last year at this time our one day event at this location was phenomenal!

  The dates this year put us on the front end of the traditional winter hatches and egg bites.  Typical for this time are egg hatches, worms, some caddis and  Baetis/Blue Wing Olives. So all is still good for lots of activity above and below the surface that the Yuba is known for. 

  
  

  Our 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 of the facility for the two days over the weekend. The river is about 1.5 miles above the highway 20 bridge over the Yuba and accessible only through a locked gate for a maximum of 20 anglers per day. There is approximately 2.5 miles of available river that is 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.

    

  The 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 control so it is very quiet with no nearby roads, ranches, or houses. There is a covered picnic area that sits above the river with 4-5 picnic tables, a fire pit (nice for those cold mornings) and a restroom that is also available on site. All in all, it's a very scenic and serene site.

  

  Cost:  

  Your cost for Saturday December 6th  includes our BBQ lunch and normal beverages such as water and soft drink. If you would like something else, please be sure to bring it along.

  Cost: $46.35 per TVFF member .  Spouses and children up to age 26 who will be attending will be charged $15.45 each to cover the cost of the BBQ.

  If you do pay cash you will be put into "Pending Registration" until your payment is received within the two weeks. Late payments will require you to register once again if there is space still available.

  Family Policy:  Spouses and family members under the age of 26 years old are included in each member's annual membership, and can attend events at no cost, unless TVFF has supplemental costs (such as guides, facility  refreshment) for the event.  In such cases, each attendee must pay the appropriate event cost listed above.

  Guest Policy:  Guests must first register as Club members before registering for this event.  TVFF annual dues qualify you for a full 12 month membership and access to all Club events and full participation.
