I fished in the Sierra's this past weekend. Our intention was to fish the Truckee, but it was that time of year where all the fishermen are packed into about 6 fish-able miles of river and the crowds reflected this. Anything below Boca inflow is pretty much blown out right now, so fishermen are stacked up between town and the Prosser inflow.

We decided to head up 89 and fish the MF Feather for 2 days, and boy that was a good call. Conditions up there are very good, and so was the fishing. We fished a lot of new water that I really enjoyed. Once you keyed in with the right dry flies, the fishing was thumbs up for some nice fish. Double digit days on landed fish with some really nice fighting wild fish. Lost a couple of beasts that just did not want to play.

The section we were in was a bitch to wade, with a lot of slippery cobble. I took a full plunge, and can confirm once again that snow melt runoff is COLD! Thank God I had my cell phone in a closed Ziplock bag and it survived my swim.

I will be fishing this river much more in the future.
