The Truckee continues to fish well, with the best sections being from the confluence of Boca reservoir to the Nevada state line on the CA side, as well as the entire Nevada side as the state takes less water this time of year with the agricultural season ending, keeping great flows down here all the way to Derby Dam. Here in California, we have mostly switched gears from the tightlining game to indicator fishing as fish begin to mostly push back into the slow deep runs with water temps continuing to drop. The primary reason for the switch is due mostly in part to the angler’s ability to adjust weight and depth and most importantly the ability to fish further out that you can wade. The California side has an abundance of runs that are 10 feet or deeper and getting near the bottom of these with a tightline setup is challenging to say the least. On the Nevada side however the terrain changes and more riffles and shallower pocket water are present and euro nymphing stays good most of the winter, especially east of Sparks. We’ve still seen a good mix of bugs and are not just fishing the winter bugs quite yet so continue to play around with fly selection. This last week we’ve caught fish on stoneflies, smaller caddis pupa, BWO nymphs, midges, worms, eggs, and crawdads and even a few streamers.
