Another beautiful week of weather only to be stopped by great fishing. Thunderstorms were predicted but stayed high over Hwy. 80 in the Reno area and you could see the lightning in the distance as you looked north. But I guess the system was a bit late as the clouds are building again. Big fish for the week were Rick Caplan of Santa Clarita caught a 4lb 3oz Alpers on a trout teaser out of Little Virginia. Overall fishing has been great, and sensational if you know what you are doing. The Granite Bay Flycasters hit Big Virginia on their annual outing using their best management flies, thanks Tom, Art, Michael and the group. Lures for the week were red/silver Kastmaster, red/gold Bouyant, small daredevil, silver Bouyants and small "lil Jake".

Bait used were baby crawlers, night crawlers, crickets, and orange power worms on #20. Flies getting tugs were olive flashy body woolies, olive leeches, small emergers, yellow sally's, wiggle tails, and Rickard's Stillwater nymph. Good action on mosquitoes, grey hackle yellow's, grey hackle peacock's, Adams female, grizzly Adams, naked olive elk hair caddis. Few clouds building today, but nothing in the way of moisture, just cooling it slightly but still very comfortable for sleeveless T's. See you on the water.
