As water temps continue to rise on the Truckee the dry fly bite has been a bit tougher this week. With the fish mostly holding in the fast moving sections of the Truckee, your best bet for success will be euro nymphing, focusing on the deeper pockets and riffles. The dry dropper fishing still remains a great option as well, with good numbers of fish holding in somewhat shallow riffles. Just be sure you are using a large enough dry, Ideally containing a lot of foam, as well as a heavy enough nymph to get down quickly with the often short drifts allowed in the faster moving water the trout are currently calling home. For the euro rods, we are finding the best luck with either crawdads or sculpin patterns for our anchors, in part because of the weight that is often found in these larger bugs. For the tag fly however, there have been quite a few different things working for us, as the variety of smaller bugs is abundant. Last week, we did best on caddis along most of the river. This week, it seems like PMDs have been fishing well, but the yellow sallies are another great fish catcher right now. The fish are sitting in fast water, focus on pocket water and riffles. If you find some of this water type with any small pocket where you can’t see the bottom, even if it’s less than 10 feet long, odd are there’s a fish in there. Fish these water types fast and keep moving. Cover water and maximize the number of fish you present to by walking.. a lot!
