Lower Truckee

Fished the lower Truckee today for a couple of hours with my buddy Gary. It was hot, but the water was beautiful. We do not normally fish the lower river this time of year because the water temps can get to high to safely play and land fish. Gary hooked a small fish on an HBI nymph. and I managed to get a larger 12" rainbow in the newly restored run above the bridge. Check out the picture of the fry. When these guy's grow-up they will be fun to fool! The Truckee is amazing!

Flowers along the West Carson

There were some very beautiful flowers in bloom along the banks of the West Carson River along Highway 88. Enjoy!

Baja Roosterfish Video

Thought you might enjoy this video of my buddy Larry fighting and landing a Rooster on our Baja Trip from May. The quality is not great and it was very windy that day, but I think you will still find it entertaining. If you haven't done this you have to go! It's so much fun! Click on the link at the bottom of this page for The Reel Baja Guide Service. Jeff can set you up for a fabulous trip. Hope you enjoy!

East and West Carson River

Fished the East and West Carson rivers last week with one of my fishing buddies Gary. This is the first time we had fished the East Carson. Beautiful scenery and very fishy water, which was still a bit high but fishable. Tough to cross though. Gary managed to land a few small rainbows on dries. I had no luck. We switched to the West Carson's pocket water and more success on olive and yellow simulators. Most fish were small but it was fun to see this little fish smash these large dries.
