It’s almost July and I still haven’t caught a fish on the big Truckee River this year. That said, I’ve only been fishing for 4 weeks this season.<\/p>\n
I haven’t seen it this bad in a long time. Although I can’t compare this year to last because the water levels were so low and the water was so warm I just couldn’t, in good conscience, fish the big Truckee last summer. So last summer may have been worse. Whatever.<\/p>\n
I hate nymphing but I’m so desperate to catch fish that I’ve been nymphing lately. San Juan worms, Pheasant Tail, Hare’s Ear, Prince, Copper Johns…no bites.<\/p>\n
There has been some late afternoon-early evening hatches that I’ve stayed in the water for, and I’ve tried Elk-hair Caddis, Blue Winged Olives, Adams. No top water action at all. I haven’t seen any fish rising in my usual spots. In fact, I haven’t even SEEN a fish at all.<\/p>\n
Prosser Creek has good flows and I’ve been striking out there as well. I’ve fished below the dam about half a mile, and above the Truckee confluence about 200 yards–NOTHING! Again, did not see any fish.<\/p>\n
I know it’s too early for grasshoppers but out of desperation I’ve been bouncing Hoppers off blades of grass near shady shorelines hoping for some reaction bites from the browns…nothing.<\/p>\n
Nevada side Trophy section flows are high and fast. Several trips this month and no luck. No fish seen.<\/p>\n
Farad good flows. I’ve seen lots of fishermen but no fish. <\/p>\n
Truckee River loop next to hwy 80 between Prosser and Little Truckee good flows but lots of algae. I had to clean off my flies every other cast. No trout seen.<\/p>\n
Seeing a pattern here? There’s no fish in the river!<\/p>\n
I’m afraid the years of drought have killed off my beloved trout population in the Truckee River. Sigh.<\/p>\n
I’ll be in Yosemite in July with my dad. Hopefully my trout in Tuolumne Meadows have survived…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
