Muy Grande Castano's

Castano in spanish is for brown..Yeah we have been catching some big browns around here lately.  The water is high, clarity is coming around, and the food supply is in full swing.  Trout have a rather large bug selection on the menu, so use go to patterns like caddis emergers, birds nest, green drake emergers, san juan's in tan, coppers, small stones, and BWO's.  LT is sitting pretty at 670 cubes, fish it deep and find slow seams.  Dries will be coming off once the flows drop closer to 400 cubes.  The Truckee is warming up, as the temp was a nice 54* and the flows have dropped to 220 - 350 cubes around town.  If you plan on fishing the green drake hatch, head out about 7:30 PM and find a nice slow slick, look for emergers around 8:45 PM or so, things have been interesting on the late night dry fly action… Some nice browns have been brought to net lately, my buddy had a few days off from traveling and came out to hook into some muy grande castano's… I'm off to Alaska to float the Talachulitna River, just south below Denali Wilderness.  Gear is packed and flies are tied, look for a trip report and video soon!
