  • 1MrSouthpaw,

    No problem...saw one small water snake about 16 inches long, other than that, no wildlife problems.

    Planning on another trip out this late September.

    Cheers, Randy C-17A

  • @C0017A Glad you and yours had a good trip on the south yuba. Its a beautiful river. I've been through Washington,therefore I thought making a reference to "Deliverance" was perfectly appropriate.BTW,I hear one can find decent pickers sniping perpendicular cracks along the banks.I found a long handle sprinkler valve tool, fashioned for sniping, works pretty well.The 2 prong fork on the end can be made into a sharp scraper and a flat scooper.Goldhidesinplainsight.

  • @1MrSouthpaw ,

    I am sure pickers can be found in the cracks/crevices.......problem is finding a spot to prospect. Almost every inch is private property or claimed. Only the Golden Quartz picnic area 3 miles up river from the town is public, that I could find... Good luck!

  • Guys,

    Back to prospecting plz...

    Bears, fish and everything else ends up leaving something in the water.....glad nature has a way or breaking down, cleaning and resturing it all over time.

    Thanks,

    Randy "C-17A"

see all
