Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi reports on 3.20.19

Truckee River

 I’m switching gears next week and will be guiding and fishing the Truckee River. I’ve got some good reports from my close friends who guide and fish up there full time. I love high water on the Truckee River as the trout are concentrated in the soft water next to the bank. Where there is one, there are another 5 more. Prime lies matter most to them during this time of year, and since they can be few and far between, they learn to share them. 

Big worms, stones, eggs, and large dark attractor flies will work best for nymphing. Streamer game is on point too. It’s not all about the swing and strip either, High stick nymphing a heavy streamer such as a crayfish in the right water will get results. Look for more reports from here on out. I’m looking forward to getting back to my roots once again.
