Truckee Wild: Fly Fishing Report

This week we talk about the Talbot Fire, small bugs, an anchor fly built for the Truckee, and how wildfires affect watersheds.

This week, we talk about the cooling trend, warm water, the reemergence of the blue winged olive, and step back in time to when the Truckee was a pristine freestone… and held enormous fish.

This week, we’re still in the oven but there’s hope in site. We chat small bugs, tactics, and the backcountry, where higher elevation keeps things cooler.

This week we talk about the heat settling in, where to find cooler water, and that chaotic pocket water that holds trout.

This week we talk about another Sierra storm, the utility infielder of flies, and getting out on new water.

This week, we talk about unsettled weather, rising water temps, and a big fly pattern.

This week, we talk about the warm weather moving in, downsizing flies, and what we can learn from kids. Happy Fourth!

A cooldown’s coming, which means better feeding windows and happier fish. What game will you be playing on the water this week? Let’s talk about it!

It’s hot, with temps this week nearly touching 90 across the area. What does that mean for hatch activity? We talk feeding windows and address a simplistic way to catch trout in the Backcast.

A brief cooldown at the beginning of the week will lead to blue skies, warmer temps, and fish spread out in a variety of water. Our fly of the week? This one’s heavy. And I chat a little bit in a new segment called the backcast, where I talk weight and where you should put it.
