Fish Reports

Some of my fondest memories growing up were fly fishing the Truckee River in the mid 1970’s with my dad. Back then it was a rarity to see someone using a fly rod while plying the river’s currents, and when we did see such a person, my dad would make it a point to introduce himself and talk about fly fishing with a complete stranger.

The staff from Willow Beach checked in today with a Striper update from the Colorado River. Today Kaitlynn caught this 8.82 pound striper this morning at the 51MM. Nice catch!

Busy busy Memorial Day weekend. Little late on the report, but that’s what happens. Guiding, watching twins, and repairing the deck keeps a man busy. Anyways the Truckee River is still high, but fishing very very well. In fact we have had some very unusual numbers days, meaning quantity and quality. Quantity is rare, but quality ain’t on this river. When you hook 10-15 fish

With the current flows being high one will still be fishing the softer water closer to the bank, with flow to it, as trout will not be fighting the higher flows found in the middle of the river. Trout this time of year, and in the situation we’re in, can be found in some shallow water just to avoid the flow and use as little

We haven’t had anyone on the ranch this week but when the flows start to come down we expect the fishing to be excellent down there!

We’re right around 3,800-4000 k every day here in the Hirsch. Better than 5,500 k, which it was just recently. 4,000 k opens up a little more water, but not much. Clarity is good and all, but the water is still very high. The river really hasn’t come up with the warm weather. We’ve been catching fish. In fact some days it’s been going off. Instead
