About Fish Habitat Enhancement
The lower Yuba River is one of California’s signature anadromous fish streams, meaning it supports fish that are born in freshwater but spend most of their lives in saltwater before returning to freshwater to spawn. Although heavily impacted by the effects of hydraulic gold mining, the lower Yuba River supports important fisheries, including Central Valley Chinook salmon and steelhead. Read more about how Yuba Water supports lower Yuba River fisheries.
