Fishing-Poor to Fair:

inTruckee says.The fishing on the Truckee over the last week has been pretty slow. We speculate that this is because of the cold days we’ve been having lately. The water is also very clear, and this doesn’t typically help the angler much either as it makes the fish even more wary and more likely to key in on the small bugs.

With this said, focus on fishing mid-day right now, use light tippet and fish small flies down to a size 22. Blue wing olives and midges are really going to be the main food item this time of year. While this won’t really change until spring, if there were a bit more precipitation causing a decrease in visibility, we may find better luck on bigger meals such as worms, stones and eggs as well, but right now that is not the case.
