The Truckee on a "good" day with high flows

by MATT KOLES

The Truckee is a bit big and a bit swollen. If you know how to fish in high flows, then you'll do good, if not wait a few weeks. We ain't gonna have to much run-off this year. It's about 900 in the Hirsh, give or take a bit, off color, but not to bad. Personally, how I like it. The usual suspects that

Talk about a Fisherman's first, "Gilligan" saw his client succeed

by MATT KOLES

Clients had a weekend of firsts. First fish on a fly rod, first brown trout caught on a fly rod, first rainbow caught on the Truckee, and first monster brown of the season lost on the Cali side. Good times had by all. The river has come up, but is actually clearing as fast as it got muddy. Big fish get hooked in this type

The natural progression of a Fly Fisherman, from "Gilligan's" perspective

by MATT KOLES

You just have to keep your flies in the water. Flies that are in the water more, catch more fish. If their tangled, dirty, or in a snag, it's hard to do that, catch fish that is. After a while that becomes easier to do. At first it's tough, especially on the Truckee River, but if you stick with it enlightenment will occur, and

Fishing has improved at Pyramid Lake, there are more fish in the shallow waters

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Fishing has definitely improved as there are more fish in shallow water this week than in previous weeks. Sunny calm days continue to be tough for most areas unless you are fishing in a boat/float tube in the nets area, or the deeper beaches on the SW side of the lake between Sand Hole and Popcorn. They have produced some fish in the afternoons when

The fishing and the flows are about as good as you can get on the Truckee

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The river has fished so well over the past couple of months that we have gotten spoiled. That could all change in the next week or two. We are getting enough snow in the lower elevations to create some run-off. When we get some warm weather the flows should pick up a bit. It is not going to be as bad as in a normal

Hinkson continues to fish great.

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Anglers are catching fish on a variety of methods from both shore and from float tubes. Retrieving just about anything with an intermediate line will work but without a doubt the best fishing is under an indicator with Pyramid sized midges and nymphs.

After the recent snow storm, fishing on the Truckee went from poor, to good, to great!

by MATT KOLES

After being shut out most of last week due to wind and snow, finally, I got back on the water with folks for the last three days. It went from poor, good, to great. I stayed on the East side of the Truckee River. The streamer bite was bad, nymphing good, and the dry dropper rig reined supreme, at least yesterday. Fish have definitely spread

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Mackinaw bite has been yo-yoing between tough and bountiful. Some days it’s tough to scratch fish and some days there are a good number of three to six pound fish. A full moon and numerous earthquakes may have made conditions odd. Guide Gene St. Denis brought in a pair of 12 pound plus fish over the weekend. Toplining action has been similar. Gene St. Denis.

A Great Day of Jonesing and fishing on the Truckee River

Aged salami, beef jerky, IPA, 60 degree weather, and trout. That's living.

by MATT KOLES

The last few days East of Reno on the Truckee River have been as good as I've seen it yet. These fish are full of piss and vinegar. Leave the toys at home.
