Good Winter Fishing Happening on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Good winter fishing happening. Like really good. We had a few great streamer days, but the dry fly fishing has been where it’s at- on the lower Truckee River in Nevada. Yep, I said dry fly fishing. Don’t say that a whole hell of a lot on the Truckee River, but there have been some days where it’s simply been epic. Of course some days are better

Midge Bite is in Full Swing

by RENO FLY SHOP

The midge bite is in full swing! After a few slower weeks at the lake, fishing has begun to pick up at Pyramid Lake. The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are highly piscivorous, but their main forage, the tui-chub, are a warm water species. The cold January weather partnered with a few storms have driven the tui-chub into the depths where the water is warmer. Because of

Not A Lot Has Changed on The River

by RENO FLY SHOP

Not a lot has changed on the river in the past few weeks. Smaller darker flies are still the dominant fly choice for me. We are seeing a lot of Skwala stonefly in the shallower waters. Skwala stoneflies are not your typical stonefly. They don’t climb out of the river on structure, instead they move into shallow rocky areas where they hatch and mate. We

Truckee River Fishing Report-1-21-20

by MATT KOLES

Good winter fishing on the Truckee River. With the exception of a few days last week when it got real cold, fishing has been pretty good. The great news is, we have some pretty good dry fly fishing happening on the lower river in Nevada. Right about mid-day you’ll see blue wings, and pods of fish rising in certain runs. Super good on those warmer overcast days,
