Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
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. I’ve had so

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
