The Big Fish are on the move in the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
It's good, real good, anywhere on the river. All it took was some colder, overcast weather. In one day the fishing went from okay, to pretty damn good. It's pumpkin weather now, and them big fish are back on the move. Fish are chasing streamers, eating nymphs, and poking their heads up for blue wings floating by. Think baetis, October caddis, stones, worms, eggs,

The Sceirine has been fishing excellent lately

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is still fishing excellent as well, the bookings are thinning out a bit later this week so there's room on the calendar to get on the ranch. If you are interested in some great private water where you can have a couple miles of river to yourself just give us a call!

How the Weather Affects Fishing the Truckee

by MATT KOLES
Weather wise, this sunny ass weather we're having ain't helping the fishing any. Indian Summer has set in, and frankly, I want some streamer weather. The ten day forecast looks for much of the same. The fishing ain't bad on both sides of the Truckee River, CA and NV, but it would be nice tossing some bwos, and streamers around. I guess November will be

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS
The mackinaw action has been very good fishing Dollar and Sugarpine points. Many limits have been caught in the 2 to 6 pound class, with a few in the 3 to 8 pound class. My experience has been, the colder the weather the bigger the fish.  Anglers have been trolling dodgers or blades followed by a live minnow or even a

The Party's Over Serious Fishing Begins on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES
The party's over, Chris left to go back home to Bozeman, and I'll be in full guide mode for the next couple weeks. It was nice to spend a few days on the river, fishing and talking shit to each other. We both managed a couple nice browns, and lost some nice fish. The weather is ridiculous up here, almost to hot, and I think

The Good Times Are Killing Me on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES
After another successful rib-off this weekend, at my age, I'm still in recovery mode. Sorry for the long delay since my last blog post. I've had friends in town, and last week was spent mostly working around the house, cutting some wood, and getting ready for winter. I do have my good friend Chris from Bozeman in town, and we are now putting in some

The Sceirine is fishing excellent these days

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is fishing excellent lately as well, much the same patterns as on the California side, plus you can go with a copper john or birds nest as well.

Truckee River Fishing Report 10/8/11

by MATT KOLES
It don't get much better. Fall is here, them cottonwoods got some gold on them, and there's snow up on the Twin Sisters. If you can't catch fish now on the Truckee River, than you should sell the fly rod and strictly stick to golf. Both states are fishing really well, with them big browns starting to show. Of course, it's been another couple days

Trout in the 20-24" range are being reported at Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is also fishing excellent with some nice 20 to 24 inch fish making a showing. Pretty much the same patterns as on the Cali side seem to be working. Streamers and dry/dropper rigs have been very productive on the ranch.

On the Truckee With The Little Brother I…..

by MATT KOLES
Larry and I, the little brother I never wanted, hit the conservancy for a few hours the other day. We hit up America's next top run, and though we didn't kill it, we still manged to catch a few. Larry's off again, Monday, to ride his bike to South America. Second times a charm I guess. If he makes it through Mexico, I'll be impressed.

Pyramid Lake, NV Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS
Last week's opener was pretty good. They caught fish all over. Still down around 60 feet or so and they come up for feeding excursions. There is a ton of bait fish this year and trout are fatter this year.  There’s a few places along the shore where there are deep dropoff. Blockhouse is best. Biggest fish was a 7.2 pounder 

One Fish Was Landed, but What A Fish!

by MATT KOLES
What a crazy last three days it's been. Friday, I had one of my worst guide days all year, if we were having fish for dinner, we would have have gone to bed hungry. Saturday, Hector and Jim from Fresno came up, greeted by a 12 pack of their local IPA, some clouds and cooler weather, I knew we would hook some fish. Walking down

The Sceirine is fishing excellent lately

by JIM REID
Many of the same patterns as listed for the East Walker have been working on the ranch. Good dry/dropper action as well as nymphing and streamers. The weather is changing in the Sierra daily so sometimes patterns will change often as well.
