Thought I'd chip-in here...

I've been using 10' 4 and 5 weight rods, exclusively, on the Truckee river (Cali-side) for a minimum of a decade. Yes, I do have a 3 wt 11' Sage ESN; which I'll use...

...no rod, but fly box found on LT yesterday. Let me know color of box & contents. Hand-tied flies & looks like box has been in the water awhile.

Rick J---For sure the MO in MT is definitely a spring option as I noted in my initial post on this thread. True as Yubaman mentioned; it is mainly a floating option; Steve137 did say he'd wade and...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned tail-waters.

I'm going to the Bighorn in eastern MT for the 1st brood BWO hatch in two weeks. Also in MT there is the Missouri & the Beaverhead. And yes, the...

Click-on to www.flyfishingcalifornia.blogspot.com. for my take on current snow-pack and related water-content for the spring melt into the local waters in the Truckee area. Go to my current post of...

Ralph---thanks for the correction on the pile of letters to F & G Commission. My recollection is that this when you had issues with CT at the time, because Cal Trout pre-empted your advocacy for...

Ralph----We're probably in the same choir when it comes to the LT. I've taken heat for some people because I was a big proponent for special regs on the LT below the dam.

My recollection is that...

Travlar----Yes, the LT is a wonderful fishery.

Personally, I have never been pleased that the LT was opened to winter angling since March '07 or '08 (I forget which). I'm of the opinion that it...

Chris---I’m responding to selected comments from your 12/31/17 post.

“I didn't realize that area was open a 1x or another to bait fishing.”

Prior to opening of the BT to winter angling (March...

Chris---I appreciate the feed-back on winter-angling, in what I've penned as the "Grand Canyon of the Truckee". Also, thanks for your empathy on my recovery...thus far, I'm pleased.

The reality...

Chris----I haven't been on the water lately; re-habing a new, bionic hip.

Water temps?...Best-times?...Sub-surface with small/big tandem best?

...Appreciate the intel in advance.

Jon---Yes indeed, TU #103 does good works in the Truckee area since its arrival in the area in 2010.

For those wishing to make donations there are two other "local" 5013c's; both also do good...

25-30 years ago the area below the second bridge at the Perazzo Meadows access road was indeed posted & for exclusive use of members of Wilderness Unlimited. There were 4-5 locked gates from there...

The Perazzo Meadows area does not have any special angling regulations. I believe it is 5-take, any size, and no gear restrictions. The area gets "cropped" early in the season of any decent trout by...

et al---leaving for the mighty MO in Big Sky Montana on Tuesday. Drifting with guides for four (4) days and one day DIY. I'm really anticipating this trip. My first exposure to the MO was in the late...

Years ago Jim 're-set" one of my bamboo rods. Then, I went directly to his home in Loomis.

I am a Vietnam vet. FYI, are you aware that Wounded Warriors's service/money is for post-911 vets only?

[QUOTE=cdevine;177287]John, that was so long ago.... Back when you would tell somebody you caught a fish and they called BS if you didn't keep it....

A historical perspective:

Chris---Well I...

Bill---thanks for mentioning my 7/12 Internet Podcast. I enjoyed the interview. There is a lot of info on the Truckee PLUS general fly fishing concepts....from my perspective. In lieu of questions...

Bill---For a local/my perspective on the Truckee River check-out the podcast I did on Internet Radio last Wednesday (7/12/17):

Frank...

Yes, Pilot strain...could be interesting in a few years.

Chris---A historical perspective; this LTC on the BT chatter is nothing new. We went through this during the mid-90's; 20 years ago. It may...

Chris----I'm not clear on the LCT re-introduction from Trout Creek to CA/NV state line; I haven't heard of plans. I believe the focus currently for LCT re-intro will be in the USFS's Little Truckee'...

Bill---ACE Mountain Hardware & Sports has a very well-stocked fly fishing section in the store. Surprised that you implied that they seemed abrupt on the phone; possibly really busy as John suggests....

My prognosis on Truckee area fly angling conditions are pretty much spot-on relative to this excerpt of my blog entry "Musing About Spring 2017"...

Paul---thanks, I appreciate the reply. I try to stay in-tune with all reports; most especially the Truckee area.
