Great fishing at Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River. Colder temps have the fish moving a bit slower in the river and small dark flies are a great selection this time of year. At Pyramid Lake both stripping flies and fishing a floating line under…
The Truckee River has been fishing very well. The fish have acclimated to the colder water and are feeding with regularity. We suggest not looking for numbers this time of year, but quality. Larger fish have to continuously eat even when their metabolism is slow…
