About that time...

Been on the water a lot lately, mostly the Truckee. Everything is fishing prime right now; lakes, rivers, & small creeks. Caddis started popping about noon on Tuesday (size 16). The PMD hatch has been great this past week. We were getting them on drys, streamers, & nymphs. I like to bring two rods out when your expecting a hatch. One rod rigged dry fly & the other nymph. Saves time and you can fish the water with more efficiency. Saw a few green drakes, but don't expect those in large numbers for another week. The weather looks to be great for the next 10 day forecast with warm temperatures in the mid 70's. Lakes will be warming up soon and the fish should be active. Flows are ideal below the Boca confluence for high-stick nymphing. Tie on a big ugly streamer if you want a shot at a big brown... Sun & Mon are available… #1.

Ideal Conditions Soon...

Memorial Day weekend was a wet one! We got some snow Friday night along with some rain here in Truckee. This kept some folks away from the mountains, but the ones who were out fishing (hopefully) were successful. March browns, dark stones, midges, PMD's, & small caddis have been getting fish on the surface. Soon the green drakes will be out and about. Look for those midday with overcast skies or in the evening right before dark. Size 10, 12 typically get the job done. Casting your dry downstream will provide the best presentation. Truckee is flowing great for all types of fishing. The Little Truckee flows have been ramped up to a steady 600+ cfs for several days now. Fish are holding along the edges in the slower currents. Bring a wading staff, as the flows are quite a bit high to wade at the moment. Weather and the fishing looks great for next week, come on up! Some photos from the last few…
