Truckee River Fishing Report-11-24-19

by MATT KOLES
Looks like we’re gonna have a winter after all. Big changes in the weather. We went from t’shirts to jackets in one day, and looking like it’s staying that way through December. Good. Decent snow this week. Too early to tell after next week, but if you’re looking at the weather models, or model riding, looking real good for Tahoe all of December. So, what’s that mean

Finally A Change in The Weather

by MATT KOLES
Finally a change in the weather. Not a big change, but at least it feels like fall now, or early winter?  Seems like it’s always feast or famine in Ca. You just never know what kind of winter we’ll have. We get pounded with snow, or we don’t. Truckee River is cold and low in Ca. Don’t mean you can’t catch fish. If you know the type
