The Calm Before the Storm

I decided to get out and fish the Truckee today before the coming Winter Snow Storm. It was a beautiful day with sunny skies and the water was flowing @ 270 CFS. The big browns are out in force in the deep runs. At around 1:30 PM I hooked a really nice brown on a cream colored stone pattern. I did not know it a the time but he really swallowed the bug deep. It turned out to be a 18 inch beautiful fish and I released him without harm. No fish photos today, but here are a couple of nice shots of the river.

Teton Valley Idaho

Just got back from a really wonderfully awesome trip to Idaho with my friend Larry Roffelsen. We specifically took this trip to participate in the Casting 4 a Cure event in Victor Idaho. This is a great organization of fly-fishing individuals getting together to raise money to find a cure for Rett Syndrome. Check out their website:

Before the event Larry and I fished the Henry's Fork in Ashton, ID and traveled to Montana to fish the Madison. The C4C took place on The South Fork of the Snake. We landed a few fish, meet some great people, fished during a hail storm and saw breathtaking scenery. I can't wait to go back!

Truckee Downtown Reno

Fished the Truckee in Downtown Reno this morning for the first time this year. The flows are perfect, the fish are hungry and the catching was good today for my buddy Gary. Gary landed a nice brown on a bitch creek and several nice bows on pt's. This is prime time so get out and fish the Truckee now!

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!
