East Walker River, NV
January 15, 2009
Rainbow and Brown Trout
Flies Used: Red Copper John and Micro May Fly
Other Details: Fished the Nevada side of the East Walker at the Rosaschi Ranch, and at the Elbow section. Caught a couple of 12" Rainbows, and a 13" Brown. The water is low and very cold. I fought floating ice at the Elbow section in the morning before moving up to the Ranch. Lows in the 20's, highs in the lower 50's. Beautiful day outside, but the fishing was a little slow.

Truckee River, NV Fly Fishing Report

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.
