Wild and Scenic South Yuba regs

[n01d3x]

I have heard many different things regarding prospecting regs in this area. I found that in the South Yuba Rec Area it is definitely hands and pans only. However I am not sure exactly what area this entails? I know that whole section of the river is called the Wild and Scenic South Yuba River, but I think that is different than the South Yuba Rec Area. Am I right or wrong? Can anyone clarify the where exactly it is hands and pans only on the South Yuba, from Lake Spaulding all the way to Yuba County?

you mean you're going to look (prospect) while I find (mine)?

pickens be getting slim, and I don't mean the Late Great deceased Slim Pickens, star of the silver screen and greatest actor who ever lived.
seriously...getting hard to find much worth putting your back into anymore...me, Tom, Aaron, Mike, Mike, Matt and a smaller host of others been busy cleaning the banks...I'm going to need to get into the river next season or go to one remote spot I am dreading the hike into.

I am with you on the mine/prospect aspect. After my first year i went to being a miner instead of a prospector as prospecting (looking) didnt pay as well. As for the S.F.Y.P.C. I thought that group photo was the club signup meeting. Hope the flush has moved some color up there.

I sure hope..thinking about going back to primitive camp, over a period of time I've pulled over a troy pound from that section of river. but I noticed that any area I moved hadn't been worked for a long time.
primitive camp used to be a club claim, there was the remains of their sign and an outhouse that had collapsed on itself.
I worked from the turn to about a 1/4 mile downstream with consistent good color, averaging just over a .dwt/day, some place I was pulling 2-3 .dwt in a 5-6 hour day.
worked it to the clay layer and stopped, some clear down to bedrock.
there is one spot you need to climb into that has a couple of small bars but mostly steep sided canyon that I haven't gotten to. hell to get to, climbing down a dry creek through tick infested brush.
a friend worked there, but he was a day-tripper from Roseville, he couldn't have gotten it all.

and BTW...the group photo was my fan club. my fantasy fan club that is....but not the guys in the pic tho..no.
