Smokin' Reels

The Rodde clan came out to slay some trout on the Truckee River and they did just that! We fished the morning until early afternoon and were landing bows on nymphs that were hitting bottom. If you are nymphing and aren't getting "salad" on your flies, try adding a bit more shot or raise that indicator for better results. Nymphing has still been productive, although we are starting to see more dries on the surface. Not too many heads showing, but the fish are looking up...Caddis, PMD's, and little yellow stones have been coming off in the AM threw the afternoon. Try birds nests, any type of caddis pupa, small zebra midges, & iron sally's for some bent rod action. Dry/dropper rig is also producing positive results. Flows in town are great for trout holding in pocket water. Below Boca res the flows pick up with several feeder streams feeding the Truckee, so deep runs will produce. The key right now is fishing quite a bit of water in order to find holding trout, but once you find them - game on! Brew up a nice batch of coffee and hit the river early and you just might be rewarded.
