The Sceirine is fishing very well lately too, much of the same patterns that work in Cali and on the Rosachi will also work here. We also had a couple good reports on streamers like JJ special, zuddlers and double bunnies down here this week.

Spring fishing on the Truckee is improving

by MATT KOLES

After four days of heavy winds finally they have laid down. We should continue the good spring fishing we've been experiencing in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area on the Truckee River. There still is a descent snow pack up top, but so far we've been having a gradual melt. The river has been staying in the good, fishy-flow stage. Flows are about 300 cfs below

Action has been good for trout. Night crawlers, PowerBait and small spinners have all enticed fish measuring as large as 15 inches.

Largemouth and smallmouth bass are still providing anglers with the best action. Most are tipping the scales at about three to four pounds, though the occasional fish pushes the eight-pound mark.

The truth about fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

As a guide sometimes you're a rock star, and sometimes you're not. Sometimes we get into fish, sometimes we don't. It's never easy on this Truckee River. We have been catching fish this week, but it seems we always work for them. Spring is a good time to catch bigger fish, but the water is still cold and not every fish is active. Sometimes in
