Truckee River Report 10.24.24

RECAP OF THE DAY:

Alright! Game on, these trout are basically at the peak of their metabolism and they are hungry. Those big brown trout that were mainly eating in the late evening during the warmer months will now be on the run during the day. You should hopefully be wrangling in these trout, if not then give me a call! As your wading watch out for the redds, these browns are in full blown spawn mode and we want many more generations of these guys in the river. Please don’t fish for these guys when they’re sitting on the redds, wait for them to come off then they’re fair game. Streamer activity should be picking up nicely in the river. With streamers, persistence is key, keep working different types and change up your presentation to find these pigs. Our biggest brown was near some deeper water but only about 2’ in the water column near some deep water. As your approaching the water ease into the run and fish the shallow stuff first, these trout can be sitting anywhere. that being said, plan full day trips and again fish in all sorts of different water.
