Truckee River June 29th

Fished the Truckee in California on June 29th with my friend Jay. Water was high but very fishable. Just tough to wade. Jay hooked a very large fish but we could not land it! Man it was huge! I managed to get a small rainbow nymphing with a golden stone. Beautiful Weather! Beautiful Scenery! Beautiful Water! The fishing should be great over the next few weeks. Happy hunting!

Valentines Day on The Truckee

Fun day on the Truckee with my friends Larry and Sue. Beautiful day outside temperature topped out at 58 degrees. Water temperature of 46 degrees. Not bad for February. Larry was the big winner today hooking and landing many fish. Several of good size. Nice hatches started @ around 12:30 PM consisting of BWO's size 14's. A few fish feeding on surface, but most action sub-surface.

Saw my first NV game Warden after 4 years of living in Reno! Very nice guy! I think I will try again on Tuesday.

Have a great day!

Downtown Reno Revisited....

All I can say about fishing the Truckee River downtown is "Amazing!" Why have I stayed away so long. Well, it is not pretty, lots of strange people hanging around. The people who fish this area regularly call it "Bum Alley." In spite of this I have never hooked and landed so many fat rainbows on this river. I am also amazed at how few people fish this river in Reno. If they only knew! Here are a few photos of our recent success. Wishing you all fantastic fall fishing!

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!
