Headed up to Truckee for the Memorial Day weekend and got in a good dose of time on the water.� The Truckee is coming into shape very nicely.� It is a little high but very fishable.� Had a nice day on the Truckee.� Landed a number of fish on dry flies, nothing huge, but decent size.
When we were on the Truckee on Sunday, low and behold, the new Truckee DF&G Warden, Adam Kavanaugh pops up.� He had hoofed about 3/4 of a mile up from the Glenshire access.� He put us through all of the hoops, even asked me my birthday in order to validate that I was the license holder.� He thoroughly checked all equipment and barbs. It was great to see.� He said he had written several citations that day already, so . . . be sure to have your act in gear up there.
We hit the MF Feather on Friday, again a little high but very fishable.� A ton of bugs were on the water . . . Yellow Sallies, PMD's, Midge's and Mayflies.� A good afternoon rise came up around 3:00.� We were able to land a few decent fish, the largest being about 17", and a bunch of smaller fish.
We went over to fish the LT, but unfortunately flows were dialed down to 50 CFS on Thursday, making it just a bit more than a big puddle.�Man, I hated seeing that.� Usually at this time of year it's at 200-300 CFS. �There was a huge thunderstorm up there this afternoon with near marble sized hail.� Maybe they'll open the gates up at Stampede again and get the water flowing a little more with this rain.��
We had a great weekend up in the Tahoe Area as well.� Great report Bob.� We hit a little lake that holds a lot of brownies.� After we figured out the hatch several fish were landed.� The highlight of the weekend was when we decided to hit the LT for an hour or less.� It did look really low, but some guy on this board landed a monster brownie.� Here he is fighting the fish.�
nice report guys! i drove up there for a basketball tournament up in reno, unfortunately didnt get time off to fish. The truckee looked good when we drove past, and i need to hit it up soon. thats a sweet pic there otter, you got a good one of the fish though? i wanna see that pig

That is not me. The guy is about twice my height. I was just taking the photos. It was an epic battle!! A few seconds after this photo he nearly stepped on a much bigger fish!!!
