| The California Department of Fish and
Game (DFG) in cooperation with the University of California Sierra
Foothill Research and Extension Center (UCSFREC) is scheduled to provide
anglers with fishing access on the lower Yuba River. The cooperative
effort will give a limited number of anglers - a maximum of 15 per day -
access to a remote section of the lower Yuba River. The access site is
located in Browns Valley, which is approximately 1.5 miles upstream of
the Highway 20 bridge. Access allows anglers to fish both banks of the river, between the upstream and downstream UCSFREC boundaries. Anglers are free to launch car top boats, canoes, kayaks, rafts and float tubes. However, any floatation device used must be carried to the river as boats requiring the use of a trailer are not allowed. Fishing dates and times are as scheduled: April 16, 1 p.m. - 8 p.m.; April 17, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.; May 14, 1 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.; May 15, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.; June 11, 1 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.; June 12, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.; July 9, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.; Aug. 20, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m. To apply, send a standard postcard with: name, name of one other applicant (if you choose), address and phone number of primary applicant, and date you wish to fish.
