Truckee River- Hirschdale

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The upper river from Tahoe City to River Ranch can be fun in the morning. Walk the bike path, throw some #8-#12 orange/yellow Stimulators near the willows or tightline/dry-dropper the runs. Fish are eating pretty good sized Stimulators so don’t be shy. Hang a #20 Brassie, or copper/green/black Copper John or your favorite Baetis pattern about 18” under the Stimulator and good things should happen.
