Whiskey Wine and Trouts

by MATT KOLES

Ice in the guides, whiskey, wine and trouts. We put the boat in for Larry's b-day yesterday. His buddy Jay, Olympian, and Sierraville native joined us. Larry actually mangaged to catch a fish. Jay stuck a pig in some serious frog water. It was cold, and them fish have moved back into some bayou water. Jay claims we drank a vintage Italian wine from

Truckee River Fishing Report 12/22/11

by MATT KOLES

Winter fishing continues to be good on the Nevada side of the Truckee River. Warm days, stable flows, equals solid winter fishing. We are in the process of the third driest December on record in the Truckee-Tahoe area. Despite the lack of precip, the river is still almost twice as high as average for this time of year, but we need snow to put

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

The lake opens to fishing on Jan. 1. Launching will be no problem and there was aggressive trout planting in the fall. Barring any unforeseen storm the opener should be good. There is a lot of bank access, too. A derby will be run from Topaz Lodge to celebrate the opener. (775) 266-3550

The Nevada side of the Truckee is still really good

by MATT KOLES

For it being Winter, the fishing is pretty good down in the desert. If the East winds aren't blowing, it's actually pretty warm. We need some snow, that's what keeps our little town of Truckee on the map. If their ain't snow, or your pass is blacked out for the holidays, you can always fish. Charles and Neil did today.

The Nevada side of the Truckee is the place to fish, and why!

by MATT KOLES

Things have got cold up in these parts, morning air temps are hovering in the zero-to low teens here in Hirschdale. Good luck if you're fishing the California side. It just doesn't warm up enough this time of year on the Cali side of the Truckee River for any real consistent fishing. Your best bet this time of year is to fish the Nevada

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

And this one got away while on the Truckee, Bummer

by MATT KOLES

This ain't Livingston MT, but it sure in the hell has felt like it the last few days. We've been pummeled by wind. My face looks like Jim Harrison's. The wind can lead a man to drink, instead of Jim's Vodka in the afternoon, I choose a good IPA. Of course, I was stupid enough to guide in it yesterday, which in turn actually

Truckee River Fishing Report 11/29/11

by MATT KOLES

Mild, is the key word weather wise up here. 50's in Truckee, 6o's in Reno. Water temps are in the -not bad- mid 40's in the desert, and cold, but average, low 40's, near Truckee. Hit 'em on the head, really, fish do not like to run your flies down this time of year. The dude with the best drift wins. Good drifts, and
