The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) in cooperation with the University of California Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center (UCSFREC) is pleased to provide anglers with fishing access on the lower Yuba River. The cooperative effort will provide a limited number of anglers, a maximum of fifteen per day, access to a remote section of the river known for great trout fishing. The access site is located in Browns Valley, CA approximately 1.5 miles upstream of the Hwy 20 bridge.

Access allows anglers to fish both banks of the river, between the upstream and downstream UCSFREC property 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.
