Blue Wing hatches have been gnarly on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Man, the blue wing hatches have been gnarly the last few days down on the lower Truckee River in Nevada. Funny though, if its blue bird, fish will stay down, and cloudy they'll be up on top. This week will be sunny and warm. I'm sure we'll also see descent hatches of march browns and skwalas throughout the entire system. Bugs galore I guess. Feels

Snow is back in the forecast for the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
This early spring weather that we've been having here in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area on the Truckee River has been great, but the fear of another lousy snow year has been on the back of my mind. Thankfully snow is in the forecast for next week. Lets hope it dumps, but not into June which can be the case around here. Right now though the

by MATT KOLES
