Yuba River Spawning Gravel Project News

On Monday July 22, the "replacement of spawning gravel project" on the lower Yuba at Rose bar just below the Narrows, is scheduled to have one of its peak days. This very large amount of cobble and gravel on Monday is expected to create a very large plume of silt and turbidity down the river.

Most likely this will have a negative impact on the fishing that day.

The project is due to run through September 1st.

Action Needed! - UPDATE!!!

Our beloved Lower Yuba River Fishery needs your help. Yuba Water Agency and CDFW is proposing a change to the Daguerre Point dam in the Lower Yuba.

Please take a few minutes to read the attached Comment Guide and consider taking action as we all need to do our part for our local fisheries.

Latest Update:
Please read this letter written by a coalition of GCFF, NCCFFI, SYRCL, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance and American Rivers to California Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service and Yuba Water Agency addressing the possible implications of installing the Fishway.
