This is one of California’s classic freestones. With exceptions, most guides fish from the town of Truckee, downstream to the Nevada state line. This stretch is filed with every type of water imaginable, runs, riffles, plunge pools, boulders and everything else you can imagine in a bigger river. Time of year generally dictates the type of fishing we do on the Truckee, but we almost always use 4 & 5 wts. and the occasional 6 & 7 wts. when throwing big streamers. Matt recommends 10′ rods when nymphing. The most efficient way to fish the Truckee is nymphing, with a mix of indicator and Euro/Tight line techniques. During certain times of the year the hatches can be amazing, and dry fly fishing is off the carts. Most of the time the river is known for quality over quantity. In the summer however, that may flip where we see better numbers but less fish that the Truckee is known for. Pricing for 1 or 2 anglers. 3rd angler charge, $175.
