Truckee River Report 10.10.24

RECAP OF THE DAY:

Were seeing a short hot spell this week with water temps so I’m focusing a bit more on the California side of the Truckee this week. Seems like that decision paid off, the trout fishing on the Cali side was out of control! yea, that’s pretty rare when my decision making pays off lol….. I believe I’ve explained this in my prior reports but if you see high air temps on the Nevada side its always good to visit the Cali side due to lower water temps and a change in the hatches. Dry fly fishing was excellent in the morning into the afternoon, We sat in the same run for about 4 hours and just wrangled these trout to the net. We basically switched from dry fly to dry dropper and when they stopped rising we brought out the nymph rod. During this time of the year brown trout may start spawning so watch your step when walking in the river and don’t disrupt the redds.
