Good day all. Thought I would share a great experience with y'all. Went up to the Truckee yesterday afternoon with two great friends for the evening hatch. I still consider my self a novice, as I only have a a year and a half of fly fishing under my belt, so the Truckee kind of intimidated me alittle. I've heard stories of the Truckee making men cry, but I decided to hit it head on. Boy, was I not disappointed. In all, we spent 3 hours in the Truckee. I ended up with 1 (and my first) Brown and 2 'bows; all on a nymph. I probably missed many more due to my thinking every little twitch "was just the bottom", but I'll get them next time. My buddy Ricardo missed 5 in the time we were near eachother, but ended up brining in two afterwards. Ed, he missed a few as well, but put me directly over the second 'Bow. after only two casts. All in all, I had a great time. Oh, and to top it off, as we were packing it up around 9 pm, I see (another first) a friggen wild black bear no more than 40 yards from us. Scared the crap out of me.
