OMG - can I just tell you how freakin' cold it was? Hubby and I headed up to the Truckee about noonish - 1 pm on Saturday after visiting the shop (Paul needed new waders :D ).
I think we got on the water about 2:30 or so. It was tough to find water that the sun was still on... And, it was REALLY windy. 35 degrees without the wind chill, so I'm sure it was well into the low 20's. We only got a couple hours of fishin' in that afternoon and didn't find anything to speak of. So we headed up to Reno for the night after visiting Cabela's in Boomtown. Incidentally, while in Cabela's, we ventured over to the archery section and each tried out a bow - Paul thinks he found our new hobby :lol: :D.
Sunday we slept in a bit, got checked out of the hotel, and headed back down the hill. When we stopped for coffee in Reno, it was 27 degrees outside. Tried a couple more spots on our way down and then went to my favorite spot (the only one I've caught a fish in :lol:), and sure enough, there they were! Except they scattered as soon as we saw them. This was about 2:30 again, and there was a hatch, although we didn't see any rising. Hubby landed one, and I LDR'd one (all nymphs). Tried some more, but had to let it rest some, so we tried upstream a ways, with no luck. Tried the first spot again, but no more. Water was 38 degrees.
Trip was abruptly halted when hubby slipped in while trying to un-snag my line. Needless to say, he couldn't get out of those clothes fast enough! Well - that is what we carry dry clothes for.... We were just glad it happened at the end of our trip as by this time it was near 4 pm :thumbsup:.
BTW - Hubby says the new waders work great, as long as he doesn't fall in :lol:
