The river continues to fish well along most sections. The Glenshire area has continued to kick out some great dry fly fishing most days and they seem to be keyed in on midges primarily. Midge cluster patterns such as a Griffith’s Gnat have been productive as well as individual midge patterns like a para midge or fowler’s midge. 

Further downstream, the name of the game would be indicator fishing the slow water using stoneflies, BWO’s and midges. Look for walking speed water, tailouts, bubble lines or slow deep riffles. The Nevada side hasn’t seen the best dry fly fishing yet with these bright and sunny days, the baetis are the main hatch out here and they really hatch en masse when cloudy days are present. 

The streamer bite east of Reno on the other hand has been great, with good numbers found on sculpin patterns this week from Lockwood to USA Parkway. Winter fishing on the Truckee is a great alternative for those who plan a trip to Pyramid only to have sunny days and slow fishing.
