We were really getting some cold temps last week. Feels a little warmer now.
I was at a dinner a week ago for Expedition to Endure and your blog came up in the discussion. I think you're doing a great job documenting your experience urban fishing Reno! I love it, keep it up!
I just donated and designed this website for www.expeditiontoendure.com and I thought you might be interested in seeing it. They will be fly fishing and cycling from Alaska to Argentina next year.
If you ever need a fishing partner I am game! johndunlap4 at gmail dot com
6-22-10 The Truckee is high but fishable. There are a variety of mayflies, caddis, and stones right now. The green drakes are showing up through town right now along with march browns and a smattering of different caddis. The caddis are actually hatching in good numbers towards evening right now. For nymphing try a heavy dropper (like a stonefly) and a bottom roller or caddis pupa dropper. Or fish three flies: stone, caddis, mayfly nymph. Andy Burk's hunchback march brown is a dynamite pattern this time of year and there are yellow stones falling out of the bushes right now so keep a few yellow stone patterns around. For streamers try sculpins or another big-headed streamer pattern-- you will probably need a sink tip to get them where they need to be this time of year.
