Conditions on the Truckee River have also benefited from the mild weather so far. Water temps have risen above 40F through town and even a few degrees higher downstream. These few degrees have really woken up the fish.

All tactics have worked nymphs, beads, streamers and even some dry flies have worked on cloudier days. It seems that fish have moved into slower water but are still willing to move to flies.

Small dark colored nymphs, like the French Nymph, Spanish Bullet and Perdigon, that simulate the BWO have worked well with beads in pink and light orange getting the most grabs.

Articulated streamers with a slow retrieve have turned up some nice browns. We have used the NEW Articulated Daddy’s Money, Sparkle Minnow.

Flies we suggest: French Nymph, Spanish Bullet, Perdigon, TNT BWO, Galloup’s Jig BWO Articulated Daddy’s Money, Sparkle Minnow. Dry Flies – Pullover BWO, Parachute Adams
