Truckee River, NV Fly Fishing Report

Joe Specchio
Fernley, NV

Truckee River, NV
February 5, 2009
Size and Species: 2 Rainbows, 13"& 17"
Flies Used: Red Copper John, Stone Fly Nymph, Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear.
Other Details: Fished from about 10am until 2:30pm at a section of the river that runs through Sparks, east of Reno. Temps were in the mid forties, but in the afternoon the wind really started blowing, and it got quite cold. The river fishes really well all the way through Reno and Sparks, but this is actually only the second time I've fished in town. I probably should invest more time fishing the Truckee in and around Reno/Sparks because there are some really nice Rainbows and Browns in the lower Truckee.
