Here is your On-the-Water Report for the Truckee River. Summer flows are dropping and coming into great shape for wading. We have found a very good crayfish bite. Finding fish in fast riffle water. We anticipate caddis flies to predominate our dry fishing for a bit before the hoppers take center stage.
Our Fly Fishing 101 and 201 classes are scheduled every Saturday through August. Sign up online at renoflyshop.com or call and stop by the shop to register. Have a great time out on the water.
Flies we suggest: Cray Z Emma, Mini Crayfish, BH Krystal Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, Foam Hopper, Super Hopper, OCD Caddis, Carot, Thread Quill, Thin Mint Bugger, July Truckee River Selection
MORE Fly Fishing Classes added to the Calendar
We have added our popular Fly Fishing 101 and 201 classes.
FF101 will introduce the new/beginner student to basic concepts to undestand gear (what and why), knots and casting stroke. This class is 1 hour and takes place at the Reno Fly Shop. All necessary equipment is provided.
FF201 builds upon our FF101 (required pre-requisite) and will pick up where that class leaves off. After a quick review of the basics the student will be exposed to the following topics;
-
Review of to fly rods, reels and lines and their different applications
-
Essential knots and rigging - with the opportunity to tie your own and which knot to use when.
-
Fly selection and how these change seasonally and even through the day.
-
Basic casting at a local park on the grass.
FF101 is required to take our FF201.
