Thanks Aaron-- You should try out pyramid-- it's a really unique place. And I did see the brown trout you caught-- very nice! Of course, if I had my druthers, I'd like to have seen it released to make more big fish! I'm certainly not against keeping fish to eat now and then (I like to keep them in the 12"-15"--pan size-- range)but the big ones are the ones that contribute the most to reproduction in streams. And IMO photos make as good of a trophy as anything!
Anyways-- you should try the fly rod sometime (don't worry I'm not exactly a purist trying to convert you-- I enjoy both to an extent)-- you'll find that the truckee is extremely productive with a fly rod. Regardless-- good luck, maybe I'll see you around.
I'm open to the fly rod, your blog has shown how productive it can be on the Truckee. It sounds like a lot of fun too! Yeah I probably should have released him to spawn... though the rich orange flesh was an amazing meal which was different than the average rainbow trout. Thanks Brian
Welcome to my fishing blog-- I hope to provide some good info and some fun stuff for the Reno/Northern Nevada/Sierra area. I mostly fish the truckee river above, through, and below Reno. If you have stories pictures etc from the area-- I would love to post them! (comment for an e-mail address) Also any and all feedback is much appreciated-- comment! Cheers.
3-5-10 The river looks like it's in great condition-- keep looking for those BWO hatches and there might even be some march browns around. Try Stonefly patterns as there are some skwalas coming off and I've still been doing well on prince nymphs (#16's). Last year around this time I also did well with red copper johns -- so maybe consider that as a lead fly. For now the cold nights has kept the fish still focused around the bigger holes but cover any water before your wade through it-- you might be surprised. Also don't be afraid to bounce some sculpin or crawdad patterns along the bottom for some big bows or a big brown.

LOVE THAT! One fly only...dang, that's how I always fish! Too bad I'll have to be in Tucson, otherwise, I'd fly on out and tap that!
If you make it out, would love to see the pics...of both the fish AND the food.
Wow that sounds like much fun! Great prizes too! Too bad I'm not a fly fisherman or I would enter!

I was pumped on it, but I don't have $40 bones.
Mikey for the win.
