Fishing is good, or hard, depending on how you can adjust to the higher flows. 1,100 and change from here on down the river. That ain’t easy pickings. The

Check out this awesome Rainbow caught by Lisa Fanti at Topaz Lake. She was fishing with her husband, Corey and trolling a Rapala XWrap in trout pattern.

Little cooler this week on the Truckee River. Raining today. Really good fishing weather. It’ll be hot before you know it, nice to have a little rain right now. Flows are still up, up and down the river. It’s spring. Clarity is really good. In fact, almost too good. I like it off color. Don’t like when those trouts can see me. They see everything.
