Not many anglers have been getting out due to weather

by DOUG BUSEY

The fishing has been slow. Not many anglers have been getting out due to weather. I talked with my friend and fellow angler Jason.

Things on the river are great right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Things on the river are great right now. We saw a good recharge of water, and now flows are quickly settling back down to prime fishing conditions. Flows are right at average for this time of year, we’d call them high, but very much fishable. Hatches of baetis have been consistent and the green drakes are around enough to be able to use the emergers

Rolling right through Spring on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Fishing may have slowed overall on the river, but we are still having some good days as of late. With the recent snow/rain the worm and baetis combo has been putting in work.

by MATT KOLES

Some more rain and high elevation snow this week for the Truckee River. Woo hoo, we needed it.

Spring is always that time to hook the big dogs. Once the flows
