Currently, anglers fishing on the Truckee River are experiencing the most success with tightline nymphing. It seems that using longer leaders tapered down to 5x tippet is the most effective approach. Anglers are advised to use smaller flies to entice the fish, and casting behind structures has been producing excellent results. The fish are mainly congregating in areas with fast, oxygenated water, so targeting these spots is a good strategy. For anglers wanting to dry fly fish the Truckee River right now, the evening seems to be the best time to catch the hatch.

Some fly favorites to try this week on the Truckee River are Perdigons in Yellow, Golden Stones, Pale Morning Duns, Midges and Blue Winged Olives.
