Cold weekend on the the Truckee River. Brrr. Better for football watching than fishing. 

Things look to warm up this week, and fingers crossed some rain and snow in the mix.

We need to get that rain and snow. Keeps the fishing good through Summer, and will get it going now, Winter.

We have the blue wing olives coming off now down on the lower Truckee River East of Reno. Through the Nature Conservancy/ McCarren ranch section. They're a good size #16. Look for the them to hatch big time on cloudy days. If it's sunny you'll see some random fish rising, if it's cloudy, they'll be pods and pods of fish rising everywhere. It's one of the best hatches on the entire river all year. 

Of course if we get some consistent cloudy inclement weather, we'll have some good streamer fishing. 

So hoping on February won't be as dry as January.
