Chris Healy, Regional Public Information Officer, reports the Truckee is fishing great for whitefish. Chris has been targeting whitefish on the Truckee and has had great success in the Mayberry area. Chris says a gold ribbed hare's ear is the fly to use but you need to drop it off something heavier like a beaded aggravator or large weighted stone fly. Chris reports the heavy fly is to get it down to the bottom where the whitefish are and the hare's ear is the target fly. On occasion the larger fly will pick up a fish but it's mainly for weight. If you catch a whitefish it is a very valued fish. Whitefish are the canary of the river, so please release them. Truckee River stream flow 322 cfs as of 12-11-07.
