Gilligan's Guide Service 6/11 Fishing Report: The Truckee River
Flows are steadily coming down on the Truckee River and the fishing is very good.
Bugs of every kind are out. PMDs, stoneflies, green drakes, caddis, and a whole smorgasbord of bugs are on the menu. Nymphing with any of the mentioned patterns should get you on some fish. I doubt you’ll see any fish rising during the bright sun of the day. Evenings are another deal now; you’ll see caddis, pale evening duns, and if you get lucky a green drake hatch.
It will mainly be a nymphing program from here on out. Tight line nymphing is the bread and butter here on the Truckee River, or "Euro" as they now like to call it. That’s how I guide and teach. Taking off the bobber will open up a whole new world for you. These trout are in the slots and faster water, and that is the key to catching these fish.
