- Truckee River Update
Matt Heron reports the Truckee River is in prime shape with steady dropping flows and perfect water temps holding in the 50s, briefly touching the low 60s in the afternoons. Clarity is excellent, and the canyon below Boca, though still pushing 1,000 CFS, is fishing well if you can handle fast water. The hatch is wide open... golden stones, yellow...
Matt Heron reports the Truckee River is in prime shape with steady dropping flows and perfect water temps holding in the 50s, briefly touching the low 60s in the afternoons. Clarity is excellent, and the canyon below Boca, though still pushing 1,000 CFS, is fishing well if you can handle fast water. The hatch is wide open... golden stones, yellow sallies, PMDs (size 16 emergers), and caddis. The green drakes are drawing quality fish to the surface, and blind casting size 10–12 dries is getting fish even without visible rises. Bobber rigs, dry droppers, and euro nymphing are all effective in fast pockets, but euro nymphing is the best play right now and will likely stay that way through summer.
