We will make the final call the week of the fishout. As a back-up plan this year-if the shad fishing is not acceptable for some reason, this outing will convert to bass fishing from boats in a Sierra foothills lake-likely Bullard's Bar Reservoir, or Scott's Flat Lake both near Grass Valley. The past several years have been hit and miss for this shad outing-low water flows and high temperatures created challenges. We will meet at the boat launch site at Marysville and travel by jet boat up the Yuba to fish.

We have reserved two guided jet boats (5 students total plus the fishout leader) for this one day outing on the Lower Yuba River. This is a one day only introduction to Shad fishing for LTFF Level 3 students on the Yuba River on Saturday, May 20th.

Personal watercraft (jet skis) are not allowed on the lake, but all other boats are welcome. Kayaks and standup paddleboards are often seen on the lake. Steady afternoon breezes make the lake a favorite with local sailors. The 2-mile long lake is popular for all kinds of recreation from waterskiing and wakeboarding to swimming and fishing. Scotts Flat Campground is on the north shore of Scotts Flat Lake, 9 miles east of Nevada City.
