Got out yesterday at 6:30 AM to fish the Truckee @ Mayberry Park with a friend in town from Arizona. A beautiful day on the river, no other anglers most of the day! The higher flows must have scared most of the players away. Rigged up the 9 foot 5 weight with a double nymph rig of a golden stone and a baetis dropper. Started to drift my flies in my favorite run and after a few drifts hooked into one of the larger size 20" wild rainbows that inhabit the river. He jumped and threw the fly. That would be the story all day. Could not keep any fish on the fly, but hooked quite a few. Saw these bachelor ducks moving downstream as well. All in all it was a nice day on the river and my friend enjoyed fishing the experience.
