Gilligan's Guide Service 6/11 Fishing Report: The Truckee River

Truckee RiverJun 14, 20241 min read

Gilligan's Guide Service

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.
