Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
I guess if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes. Ballistic hot over the weekend, snowing in the Hirsch today. Thought I was going to pass out from heat stroke on Friday, no wind, out in the sun all day. Shitty fishing. Sometimes the trouts don’t want to be on our schedule. Can’t blame them to be honest. Now, we have some good fall weather.

We expect the streamer bite to pick up in the following weeks as temps continue to drop making fish more willing to chase a
