Truckee River Report 8.29.24

RECAP OF THE DAY:

I like to get on here and leave a few more reports as August ends and we get close to September because you can really see a change in the fishing conditions. You want to keep scouting the river and covering water. The spot you fished a week ago may not be as productive. These trout will move so fish different water. If you’re on the water early you may start seeing some BWO hatches as the PMD’s wind down and almost become non existent. If you ever intend to get into trout spey, now is a good time to start learning. Swinging bugs and covering water is very effective. As I was saying in my previous report these trout will move and spread out, no better time to learn a new style of fishing if you haven’t already. Evening fishing will still be productive if your looking to mouse or throw big streamers at night. The Truckee east of town is still a bit hot. staying west this time of the year is where you will find most of your trout. This is the time of year you can really change up techniques throughout the day and learn a lot. you will usually find me with a few different rods on my person as i’m scouting the river. YES, i’m that guy!
