Sunshine in Tahoe

Sunshine, fresh air, and fish have been on the menu lately. Temperatures are rising to the low 70's this week, which means more snow run-off will be filling our rivers. High flows should help move the fish around. Nymphing the riffles, deep pools, and back eddies have been productive. Jean and Jeanette came up with some friends to fish and they had a great day. A few fish were also brought to net. The next few weeks or so will be productive, so grab a friend and head on up to Tahoe to fish! A few pictures from the last few days….

Pro tip - It is always a good idea with each new season to replace your fly line. Yes, they are a bit expensive, but worth every penny. From time to time you will snag your line in the bushes, rocks, trees, etc and will cause abrasions on the fly line. When your fly line cracks, water can be absorbed within the fly line thus creating a sub par drift. Replacing the line will help turn over your different casts with more accuracy, precision, and mending. Buy the RIO Gold line, you will have no regrets...

Tahoe Fly Fishing Report - 5/3

Things have been great in the Tahoe area recently! The seasons are transitioning from one to another, but the fishing never ceases to impress. Although the water levels aren't ideal for dry flies, nymphing still remains champ. I fished with a buddy today and he landed several rainbows and we got a double. First double hookup of the 2012 season! They both took a soft-hackle emerger under some lead. It rained a bit today, but the weather outcast for the next week looks to be low 60's, perfect for some trout fishing this weekend!
