Have some fun on the Truckee River this spring

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Hard to believe today is the first day of Spring. We're having a little glitch in system with some rain and snow this morning, but after two weeks of warm weather we need it. It would be nice to get a couple more snow storms before summer, but the way its looking, that's iffy. Good news is that the fishing will be good all Spring.

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

All is can say is the fishing has been outstanding this week with the warm weather on the Truckee River.

Through Reno, and on the West side, skwalas, some march browns, and blue wings. In California, we are

Blue Wing hatches have been gnarly on the Truckee River

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Man, the blue wing hatches have been gnarly the last few days down on the lower Truckee River in Nevada. Funny though, if its blue bird, fish will stay down, and cloudy they'll be up on top. This week will be sunny and warm. I'm sure we'll also see descent hatches of march browns and skwalas throughout the entire system. Bugs galore I guess. Feels

Snow is back in the forecast for the Truckee River

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

This early spring weather that we've been having here in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area on the Truckee River has been great, but the fear of another lousy snow year has been on the back of my mind. Thankfully snow is in the forecast for next week. Lets hope it dumps, but not into June which can be the case around here. Right now though the

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report, February 24th 2013

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Well, it doesn't look like we're getting any storms in the distant future. Except for the shot we got this week, it's been since December that we have had significant amounts of snow. Scary for water thirsty states such as California, and Nevada. The fishing is however is very good right now on the Truckee River and we can only hope the storm doors will

The BWO's are out on the Truckee River and the fish are heathy and active

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Hard to believe it's already the middle of February and we haven't had a significant storm in over six weeks. I guess I shouldn't get to worried. We had a dry spell like this in 2010 and then look what happened. Next week we will get a good cold storm, we need it. Despite the lack of storms the Truckee River is still up, above
