Even though we are in another warm up, water temperatures are falling and currently at 58 to 63 degrees. Conditions are changing for the better. Residen rainbows are starting to feed more and the fall bite has started. Fishing pressure has increased, but it’s not a problem to find your own spot. Target areas that are not being picked on, the trout will be way more...

North Fork Yuba River

summer is coming to an end, days are noticeably shorter, mornings are colder, and the sun is arcing lower in the horizon each day. The North Fork Yuba River is still fishing well. You’ll have better success if you seek out sections that have not been fished; it’s time to hike into remote sections of the unknown. Water temperatures are stable at...

Be careful playing fish for long periods when the water is really warm, they may not make it when released, so be prepared to keep your catch.The damselfly hatch is still going strong but is in the midst of waning.

Jon Baiocchi, Baiocchi’s Troutfitters reports on 6.15.2016

The last week has been unseasonably cool, and the wind has been present everday, sometimes right out of the chute. Water temps have dropped down to 57 to 62 degrees. Fishing pressure has been moderate, and the more popular access areas on the west shore has had it’s fair share of fly anglers.

The damsel game is happening, but with this...

Lake Davis Fishing Report / Baiocchi’s Troutfitters

6/7/2016 – First off, I blew my back out last Wednesday while unhitching my boat after a trip on the lake. It is what it is, and it’s not just age. When you’ve competed at BMX, vert skateboarding, professional snowboarding, and lastly my boyhood dream, motocross – it all has caught up to me. Bottom line is I spend too much time behind the computer...

Jon Baiocchi reports on 6/2/2016

Last week’s unsettled weather brought a mixture of rain, wind, sunshine, thunder, and hail. If you didn’t like the weather, all you had to do was wait ten minutes. The cooling trend brought down water temps to 53 to 56, but as of today they are on the rise again ranging from 57 to 60 degrees. It also put a slight halt to the hatches. All this will change once we get...

Jon Baiocchi / Baiocchis Troutfitters Reports on 5.26.2016

More trout water falling from the sky in the northern Sierra this past week, and has lowered the water temps down from 53 - 57. This has stalled all hatches, and today we had to work very hard for a few fish. Indo rigs best, right off the bottom, and 3 to 5 feet down. Fishing pressure is extremely light. Look for conditions to improve with...

Jon Baiocchi/Baiocchi’s Troutfitters reports on 5.18.2016

Water temps have come up quickly and are ranging from 56 to 59 degrees; you’ll see slightly higher water temps in shallow flats/points with a dark mud bottom. Fishing pressure is moderate at the more popular areas, but solitude...

George, in the high country camping out at Lake Davis. It’s so gorgeous out!

Writing this report from my phone, so I’ll keep it short. Take care!

The Truckee River is fishing good, both on top and in the canyon. When I can get two rookies into 7 fish, with the biggest being a 22" rainbow, it’s really good. High sticking and indo rigs are dominating. Same old...

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 4.20.2016

The Truckee River is fishing pretty well right now, and the flows are dropping into shape. The Glenshire stretch is at 220 cubes, and the upper canyon is running at 625 cfs, a tad higher down by Floriston. With higher flows, fish the side water first before venturing out. All of the fish last week were in deeper slower water next to the main flow/seam. Flesh Juan...
